Letter from the Publisher
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the San Diego Business Journal’s first annual Corporate Philanthropy publication.
Together with San Diego Grantmakers and Volunteer San Diego, we are excited to share with you a publication that promotes and recognizes corporations that make a difference in the San Diego community by volunteering and contributing dollar and in-kind donations to the nonprofit sector. These are corporations that make a
conscious effort to help better San Diego County, and it’s been a pleasure to publish this special
supplement.
We thank and are most appreciative of those companies making a difference. Without them,
San Diego wouldn’t be what it is today!
We anticipate that this special publication can be used as a tool for companies and/or individuals who are considering donating or starting a giving program. We hope that reading about
Armon Mills
San Diego companies’ giving programs and their philanthropic success stories will inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
In this publication, you will read about how your company can make a difference, from dollar donations and
in-kind to employee-driven volunteer programs. You’ll also read about how giving can breed a stronger economy
and create a more motivated work force, thus proving to be a powerful business tool.
This project is made possible by our sponsors. Many thanks to our Title Sponsors: Barona Resort & Casino,
Kaiser Permanente, The Corky McMillin Companies, North Island Credit Union and Sempra Energy. We are
also grateful for the contributions of our Co-Sponsors: Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Bank of America, Cox Communications, Jack in the Box, Mission Federal Credit Union, Torrey Pines Bank, Union Bank of California and
Washington Mutual.
In addition, there are three staff members I’d like to especially thank: Supplements Editor Stacey Bengtson,
Production Artist Michael Domine and Director of Production Craig Klas.
Finally, thanks to the companies that participated in the Corporate Philanthropist List and those that submitted Q&As.
Sincerely
Armon Mills

VOLUNTEER SAN DIEGO
Corporate Philanthropy: It’s Good Business
Every day we all see examples of corporate giving: pink breast cancer ribbons on product packaging, corporate sponsorship logos in magazine ads
for fund raisers, lists of corporate supporters in theater programs. While the last few years
have seen a welcome increase
in corporate good citizenship
across the country and across
San Diego County, the fact remains that there is much more
Nancy Jamison
that needs to be done for our
Executive Director
San Diego Grantmakers
community.
San Diego Grantmakers is honored to join with
Volunteer San Diego and the San Diego Business
Journal to create this inaugural Corporate Philanthropy Supplement. Our mission is to inspire,
develop, connect and educate a diverse group of
foundations and corporations to further increase
the level of effective philanthropy in the San Diego
region. We are happy to shine a light on the good
deeds of San Diego businesses!
As described in this supplement, corporate
philanthropy is a standard practice for many
companies no matter what their size or industry. They approach giving with the same care
and professionalism they apply to running their
business. Significant research demonstrates
that giving back to the community is good for a
company’s profits, reputation and employee morale. Turn to “The Bottom Line: Corporate Giving Gives Back” on page 18 of this supplement
to learn more about how giving back can benefit
companies.
It is our hope that even more San Diego County companies will be inspired to plan and act
strategically to support our community. Whether
your giving is in the form of dollar donations,
employee volunteers or in-kind services or products - it is all needed. The more companies that
make charitable giving a priority of their corporate culture, the stronger San Diego will be.
Indeed, a thriving corporate giving culture is
essential to the health of the nonprofit organizations that serve our communities in so many
ways and make a positive difference in the lives
of our citizens.
I like this simple statement by Marc Benioff,
founder of Salesforce.Com and author of “The
Business of Changing the World,” “It turns out that
doing what’s right can also be very good for you
and your business. I do not believe you can be a
leader in your industry without being a leader in
your community. It’s a fundamental shift in how
you think about business.”
Many corporate leaders in San Diego have made
this shift. Please join them in the good business of
changing San Diego!
Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about how San Diego Grantmakers supports new and current corporate giving programs
in San Diego.

Volunteering: Making the Community a Better Place
On a recent trip, I purchased a Superhero Starter Kit, complete with dashing red cape, protective
wrist guards, and bold hero emblem. I was eager to
learn its secret for “saving the
world made simple.”
As it turns out, I needed to
look no further than the 35,000
superheroes that we engage
annually in meaningful volunteer opportunities serving San
Diego’s most critical needs.
Sue Carter
These volunteers give their
Executive Director
Volunteer San Diego
time, talent and passion to 800
local nonprofits, schools and government agencies.
Their impact can be counted in the thousands of
meals served to homebound seniors, the hundreds
of youth tutored by caring adults, the miles of
beaches left clean and safe and the scores of abandoned animals cared for and loved.
As more corporations embrace volunteer service as philanthropy, they’ve realized their employees’ power to be superheroes. Research shows
that employee volunteer programs have broad
benefits, from boosting employee recruitment and
retention to improving community image and
sales. Employees take pride in their company’s
involvement and their own role in making a positive community impact.
Volunteer San Diego has become a natural partner, a Superhero Central if you will, for many companies looking to develop the heroes within. We offer a free database of opportunities to fit the skills,
schedules and passions of employees wanting to
serve on their own or as a family. We contract with
companies to support their employee volunteer
programs or manage group volunteer events.
Volunteering is one of the easiest ways to make
San Diego a better place to work, live and play. We
are pleased to participate in the first corporate philanthropy supplement, and we are grateful to our
corporate partners, San Diego Grantmakers, and
the San Diego Business Journal for inspiring more
people to discover their inner superheroes.
Now - where did I leave my cape…

MESSAGE FROM THE TITLE SPONSORS
Sempra Energy
Sempra Energy was created
in 1998 by a merger of parent
companies of two long-established, and highly respected,
investor-owned utilities with
rich histories dating back more
than 100 years.
Today, we’re a Fortune 500
Molly Cartmill
energy services holding company,
based in San Diego, Calif., with 2006 revenues of
nearly $12 billion. The Sempra Energy companies’
14,000 employees serve more than 29 million consumers worldwide. And as the company has grown,
so has our corporate giving.
We understand our role as a good corporate
citizen and we know how critical our involvement is to communities where we live and work.
We believe that giving back is not only good business, it’s also the right thing to do. So, we work
hard to invest time, talent and financial resources to improve the quality of life for our customers
and our employees.
Sempra Energy provides community and philanthropic contributions in support of a diverse array
of causes and programs. We support health, human
services, education, economic development, environmental and civic programs, events and initiatives.
We’re proud of our employees and all they do to
give back. We’re proud of our community involvement program. And we’re proud to call San Diego
our hometown.
Molly Cartmill
Director, Corporate Community Partnerships
Kaiser Permanente
For more than 60 years, community service has been an essential part of Kaiser Permanente’s corporate philosophy and
mission. It is consistent with
Kaiser Permanente’s nonprofit
status, which carries with it
specific responsibilities and preArthur Flippin, MD
sumes that its program will return an equivalent social benefit to the larger community. Rather than paying financial dividends to
shareholders, Kaiser Permanente makes investments in the community it serves to help improve
our communities’ health.
Kaiser Permanente has a rich history of leadership in community service. From key roles in
sweeping community collaborations to modest yet
vital guidance in neighborhood projects, the people
of Kaiser Permanente are helping improve our
communities every day.
The depth of our commitment sustains and furthers existing community collaborations and programs. And it goes even further – Kaiser Permanente San Diego has also created or been a founding
member of many of those programs.
The Winston School for children with disabilities, the medical clinic at St. Vincent de Paul Village, the 2-1-1 community services telephone program and many others are ongoing examples of our
corporate philanthropy. Kaiser Permanente volunteers serve on boards, committees and work groups
for key volunteer health organizations throughout
San Diego County.
Many of the partnerships and collaborative efforts have broken new ground in community service, and become models adopted by other communities nationwide. Kaiser Permanente’s innovative
partnership with the community clinic network;
participation in the Community Health Improvement Partners and an immunization tracking system that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention commended, are just a few examples of our
leading edge community service leadership.
We have always taken our mission-driven responsibility for the health of our members and
our communities very seriously. With monetary
grants to organizations that provide the health
safety net, and with our long tradition of volunteering with community-based agencies, Kaiser
Permanente is helping provide access to health
care for everyone.
As you read the articles in this section, you are
sure to be inspired by the many wonderful community efforts of businesses that take corporate
philanthropy to heart.
Arthur Flippin, MD
Medical Director
The Corky McMillin Companies
At McMillin, we believe the
success of a community is defined
by the people and organizations
that support it. The Corky McMillin Companies and its employees
have always followed the principle that generosity and contribution allow everyone to grow and
Mark McMillin
thrive as a community.
Employees of The Corky McMillin Companies
contribute time and resources to scores of charitable
endeavors, ranging from youth sports to medical research organizations and programs that support excellence in academic achievement. Some of the causes
we have supported over the last 47 years include
medical research organizations such as the Ameri-
can Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, Leukemia Society, March of Dimes,
Cure for Juvenile Diabetes and
United Cerebral Palsy; environmental causes such as the Blue
Sky Ecological Preserve, Mission
Trails Regional Park and the EnScott McMillin
vironmental Legacy Fund; many
Boys and Girls Clubs and several YMCAs.
McMillin also has a fondness for special
events that bring together many people in our
community and have assisted with Harbor Days
in Chula Vista, BonitaFest, Scripps Ranch 4th of
July Parade, Poway Rodeo Days and Fleet Week
San Diego, among others.
One of our largest contributions to date is $3.5
million to the NTC Foundation for the establishment of a civic, arts and cultural center on the
grounds of the former Naval Training Center in
San Diego.
At The Corky McMillin Companies, we believe
that it is important to give consistently to the community during both good and difficult economic
times. We realize that the needs of many worthwhile
organizations remain constant and at a time when
many companies cut back or interrupt their corporate giving activities, McMillin strives to maintain a
constant presence within the community.

has been a core principle of the
credit union model for as long as credit unions
have existed. North Island maintains this commitment by annually donating 3 to 4 percent of
earnings to philanthropic causes. North Island
has earmarked more than $400,000 for charitable donations in 2007 to more than 70 worthy
local nonprofit organizations.
North Island is strongly committed to sup6 CORPORATEPHILANTHROPY
porting youth and education causes, consistently
providing financial and human resources to the
Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego, Rady
Children’s Hospital, YMCA, the San Diego UnionTribune’s It Just Add$ Up Literacy Campaign and
Junior Achievement, among others.
North Island Credit Union executives and managers have participated in the Junior Achievement
“Free Enterprise Day” program since 2000. The Junior
Achievement program complements school curriculum by providing a realistic and relevant view of the
world beyond school. North Island volunteers facilitate
hands-on activities that teach the differences between
need and want; money and banking; how taxes work
in a community; human/natural/capital resources; careers; entrepreneurship; economy; importing and exporting; and the free enterprise system.
Originally founded in 1940 to serve San Diego’s military community, North Island continues
to serve San Diego’s sailors and marines by supporting the Fleet Week Foundation as a four star
sponsor, to pay tribute to and to thank San Diego’s
military service men and women. Fleet Week, the
month-long series of patriotic events, beginning
with the Port of San Diego Sea & Air Parade, featuring the Miramar Air Show and culminating
with the black tie San Diego Star Spangle Salute
dinner show has long been a top philanthropic priority for North Island.
North Island Credit Union thanks the San Diego Business Journal for recognizing San Diego’s
corporate philanthropists.

Any Company Can Make a Difference
As chair of BIOCOM, our local biotechnology
industry association, I am proud to represent
more than 550 life science companies in the San
Diego region. We applaud the
companies included
in the
San Diego Business Journal’s
List of Corporate Philanthropists and encourage other life
science companies to join BIOCOM and Invitrogen in supporting our community by
Greg Lucier
launching their own corporate
giving or volunteer program.
As a company involved in life science research,
Invitrogen is passionate about improving the human condition; and corporate philanthropy is one
MAY 28, 2007
more mechanism through which we can improve
the world around us.
For years, Invitrogen has been a supporter of
science education and the promotion of scientific
literacy. We believe strongly in educating the next
generation of scientists, in promoting the important contributions scientists make every day,
and in recognizing the critical role science plays
in our society. To this end, we have contributed
$500,000 in cash and products to the Biotechnology Institute to train and recognize the work of
outstanding teachers nationwide. Invitrogen has
also supported local education initiatives, including the University of San Diego’s undergraduate
summer research program, and the Life Science
Summer Institute.
We all know that giving back is not always about
money. Often, time is the most precious gift of all. For
example, hundreds of Invitrogen’s employees take a
half day of company time each year to participate
in employer-organized volunteer activities. No matter the industry, any San Diego company can make
an impact on the local community by empowering
their employees to get involved.
Whatever the cause, I encourage all San Diego
companies to give back to the communities that support us. For Invitrogen, that can mean one scientific
discovery, or one community project, at a time.

Economies Flourish With
Philanthropic Support
Giving is Good For Business, Experts Say
By Jessica Long | Staff Writer
Hope in a battered woman’s smile as she receives job counseling; gratitude in an old man’s eye for the warm blanket he’ll
hug close come sunset; the sound of children learning music in
schools formerly silenced by budget cuts – the immediate benefits of charitable giving are plain to see, hear and feel.
But in the greater scheme of things, charitable giving
– especially that which involves oversized
corporate checks – is far more than a good
deed. It’s good business, and not just for the
obvious tax incentives.
Corporate philanthropy can have a power impact on the local economy in which
a business operates, leading to a stronger
work force and customer base.
Just ask Professor Pat Libby, co-director
Bruce Blakley
of the University of San Diego’s Center for
Applied Nonprofit Research.
“The corporate community is extremely
important to the support of the nonprofit
sector in the region,” Libby said. “If corporate philanthropy didn’t exist, there would
be huge holes in all sorts of programs across
all the spectrums.”
In a nutshell, San Diego County would
not be what it is today in terms of arts, recPat Libby
reation, housing and educational opportunities, she explained. But because there are
so many influences working at once, it’s hard to tell exactly
how better off San Diego County’s economy is today because of
corporate philanthropy.
“We really don’t know … we can ascertain what their impact is but it’s not something we can really measure on paper,”
Libby said, noting, for example, that if a company sponsors an
abstinence program for teens, does it get credit for every teen
who doesn’t get pregnant or should some credit go to the individual home lives of each of these teens.
She also references the frequent practice of corporate table
sponsorship at fund-raising events. Although the corporate
philanthropists are not hosting the event and larger credit
would seem to belong to the nonprofit doing the legwork, one
could not exist without the other.
“The economic impact question is just not that ascertainable,” Libby said. “You have to look at it longitudinally.”
Charity, the Gift That Keeps on Giving
Although it’s difficult to assess the exact impact of corporate philanthropy on a regional economy, there are some related numbers to consider assuming that nonprofits could not
do what they do without their corporate friends. They can be
found in “A Spotlight on San Diego’s Third Sector,” a study released last November by USD’s Center for Applied Nonprofit
Research, co-directed by Libby.
Using 2004 reports, the study finds that San Diego’s nonprofit organizations earned a collective $8.1 billion in revenue
and spent $7.7 billion providing services. That represents 6
percent of San Diego’s Gross Regional Product.
The nonprofit work force has grown nearly a third its size
between 1999 and 2004. As of the second quarter of 2004,
charities employed 79,000 people, or 6.2 percent of San Diego’s
total employment, according to the university’s study. That
translates into a contribution of $642.6 million in wage earnings to the economy.
A Business-like Approach … With Feelings
Recently retired certified public accountant, Bruce Blakley
serves as board chairman for the San Diego Foundation, a nonprofit that has helped allocate $515 million locally since its
inception in 1975. For Blakley, who’s been involved with the
group for the past 10 years, corporate philanthropy starts with
a close look inside a company’s own walls.
“In my mind it all starts with quality of life and it gets down
to either your employees or your customers or in some cases,
children,” said Blakley, who believes business owners should
keep in mind that if their employees are worried about their
children’s education or health, or worried about getting home
before sunset to avoid walking at night through their bad
neighborhood, they are not going to be as productive as they
would be without those personal distractions.
Blakley said companies contemplating whether philanthropy is worth the time it takes to organize should think of it as
an important investment in their own bottom line.
A special challenge in San Diego County is that there are
so many start-ups, which leads to a strong entrepreneurial
community but doesn’t always bode well for corporate philanthropy.
“I would never suggest they slow down (what they’re doing
to develop their companies) but ‘try to fit in a little bit: yes,’”
Blakley said. “They don’t always have the capital or the wherewithal to contribute to the community but at some point they
will and they should.”
Finding a Focus Others Can Follow
With all the ills of the world today, corporate philanthropists can pick virtually any cause to get behind, from stomping
out hunger to finding a cure for breast cancer. But lately, many
appear to be staying close to home by funding things directly
related to their businesses.
For example, a high-tech company funds a science fair at an
area high school or a professional sports team builds playing
fields for youths.
“There’s been a trend for corporations to tailor their giving
so it’s more in-lined with their own corporation mission,” said
Libby, who finds the trend disappointing.
Libby is disappointed in the trend because she fears it
leaves out essential needs every community has in terms of
poverty and other harder to address social ills.
“I can understand that they would want to do that certainly,
but it’s important to look at everything that supports society
because if not we just won’t have these other things,” Libby
said.
Using the recent success of American Idol Gives Back, the
pop culture-infused fund-raiser that raised more than $70 million for impoverished youth here and in Africa, Libby said corporate philanthropists are in a unique position to affect significant change because of their high profiles. She points to such
Idol sponsors as The Coca-Cola Co., News Corp. and ConAgra
Foods as prime examples.
“One good thing the corporations do is provide a beacon
for the general public to invest,” Libby said. “Clearly there’s
a feel good quality to it when corporations can lead through
example.”

Best Practices of Corporate Donors
By K Kaufmann
Many companies would agree the
only way to do corporate giving wrong
is by not doing it at all.
San Diego companies seeking examples and inspiration among their peers
will find programs in all shapes and
sizes. The specifics of any one program,
and how it developed, often depend on
a company’s size and type, the commitment level of its executives and—a key
ingredient – the passions of its employees.
At Amylin, two of its 1,600 employees, both avid bike riders, kick-started
a major corporate giving program in
2000 by asking for support for a ride to
raise funds for diabetes research, said
Lynn Allen-Biros, community affairs
manager.
The San Diego-based pharmaceutical firm, which produces drugs for diabetics, now provides funds in three areas, patient advocacy, science education
and health and fitness.
10,000 RV Sales has 45 employees
at three locations in San Diego and
San Marcos. But, the smaller company,
a dealer of new and used trailers and
recreational vehicles, is about to take
its corporate giving—focused on child
welfare—to the next level by starting
its own foundation.

“It’s wanting to have something we
would be more intimately involved
with at all the different levels,” said
Tony Freeman, director of community
relations. “We will be taking inner-city
kids and connecting them with outdoor
experiences.”
In other words, one size or style does
not fit all. But after taking a glance at
small-cross sections of area companies
with corporate giving programs, common principles emerge.
xIt’s not an add-on; it’s an integral
part of a business, from the top down.
While the bike race was a turning
point for Amylin, the company had always “put a little money aside to support the community,” Allen-Biros said.
And that’s what most companies
said about the origins of their programs.
Corporate giving is not something they
added on once they were successful. It
was part of their founders’ vision for
the enterprise and remains an essential part of their internal culture and
values.
At San Diego National Bank, corporate philanthropy is part of how the
local bank stays connected to the community. Managers being groomed for
top positions are encouraged to sit on
nonprofit boards, and the bank underwrites the donations they are expected
to make to those groups.
“I sit on seven boards because of it,”
said Kristy Gregg, the bank’s vice president of marketing and community relations. “It’s a great way to network, it
gets (the bank’s) name out there.”
xHave a goal; have a focus.
Ask most corporate giving folks
what the goal of their company program is, and the first answer is, “We
want to give back.”
True—and highly laudable – but the
savvy side of corporate giving is rooted
in more practical concerns, aligning
philanthropic programs with specific
business goals. In other words, companies with the most effective programs
figure out what kind of bang they want
for their bucks and act accordingly.
Cbeyond, an Atlanta-based firm that
markets telecommunications and data
services to small businesses opened offices in San Diego last December, with
Los Angeles and San Francisco outposts on the way.
Chairman and CEO Jim Geiger
credits a major part of the company’s
growth to its very active employee volunteer program, which began when
customers “started sucking us into
their causes in their communities.”
This year alone, the local sales force
will participate in four service projects.
That feel-good approach to customer
relations was quickly recognized as a
smart marketing strategy, Geiger said.
“The impetus was charitable, (but)
there is tremendous practical value
as well to our business,” Geiger said.
“Thirty percent of new customers each
month come to us as referrals from our
existing customers.”
xGive employees an active role.
Employee loyalty and retention are
among the most frequently mentioned
benefits of corporate giving programs.
People want to work for companies
that make a difference; they want to
feel good about where they work
Promoting employee volunteer programs is cited almost universally as a
key way for a business of any size to let
its employees know it cares about the
causes they care about.
Cbeyond employees get eight hours
of paid time a year to use for volunteer
pursuits; along with company matching funds for any donations they make
up to $250.
At Solar Turbines, an employee
committee helps decide which of 13 to
15 local charities will get small grants
from the company each year, said Jessica Eslinger, senior communications
specialist. The international manufacturer of gas turbines likes to target
grassroots groups that don’t generally
pull in big grants, she said.
xCreate a structure, keep it simple.
One of the hardest parts of any corporate giving program is saying no.
Like any big city, San Diego has thousands of nonprofits doing essential, at
times miraculous work, and no company can support them all.
Which is why it is important for
businesses to have guidelines and
structure – knowing what it can give
and knowing how to give it is essential.
At Qualcomm, corporate giving is
part of the yearly budget—1 percent of
the prior year’s pretax profits. The company focuses its philanthropy in three
areas—education, health and human
services and arts and culture – and
has a streamlined process for screening prospective grantees.
Twice a year, Qualcomm holds
workshops to educate area nonprofits
on the kinds of programs the company
funds and how to apply. Groups seeking funds are asked to fill out an online
“letter of request,” which the company
uses as an initial screening tool. Groups
that meet the company’s guidelines are
contacted in about a week to fill out a
full grant application, which, in turn,
goes to a corporate giving committee
that meets monthly.
“(It) means people get their information on whether their grant will be
funded in relatively quick order,” said
Susan Laun, vice president for human
resources.
With its focus on smaller nonprofits,
Solar Turbines takes a more flexible
approach to proposals. The company
accepts them “in all forms, shapes and
sizes,” said Wendy Swanson, manager
of public affairs.
“Every organization is different, so
we don’t think there is an established
application that meets everyone’s
needs,” Swanson said.
xEvaluate and evolve.

During the past twelve years, BAE Systems has
been donating bikes to the kids of our local community during the holiday season. The Bike Drive’s
initial efforts produced five bikes and helmets which
benefited a small group of underprivileged children
and the tradition has continued with a growing
number of bikes donated each year. In December
of 2006, BAE Systems teamed with the local USO
in providing 1,100 bikes and helmets to our local
military families stationed at Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps. Air Station – Miramar, Marine Corps.
Recruit Depot (MCRD), Naval Station/Coronado
and the Coast Guard. Employees gave generously,
and over the course of many fund-raising months
donated an incredible $18,377 with an additional
$20,000 donated by BAE Systems.
The Bike Drive Assembly team, made up of
about 40 dedicated and committed volunteers,
have a short time span to assemble the bikes,
which are purchased in all shapes and sizes for
boys and girls. These employees sacrifice many
hours during lunch, before and after work and on
weekends to accomplish this tremendous task.
The Bike Drive inspires teamwork among our
employees and brings us together for a common
cause. Not only do our employees demonstrate the
sprit of giving through their actions, our military
personnel are considered part of our extended
family and we enjoy helping them.
Transforming Lives,
One Student at a Time

from the Preuss School and gone on to thrive at an impressive
array of colleges and universities: Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, UCLA,
Dartmouth, UCSD. . . the list goes on.
The Preuss School is about transformation. It’s about engaging
students in the world of ideas and giving them the tools and
knowledge to develop as active scholars and citizens.
Gen-Probe has had the privilege of working with Preuss School
students as mentors and friends for three years. Our relationship

Corporate Giving Goes Beyond Dollars and Cents to
Fuel Local Nonprofits
Partnerships Prove Good for Business and Harvesting Good Will
By Liz Wiedemann | Staff Writer
In today’s competitive corporate
world, how can giving away time and
cash possibly be good for a bottom
line?
Despite the apparent paradox,
corporate philanthropy and employee volunteerism have become part of
companies’ overall corporate citizenship strategies, and in some cases a
necessary component in maintaining
that edge.
Within the broad scope of corporate citizenship, corporate responsibility embraces issues to do with
company risk and reputation, or the
development of goods and services
related to social and environmental
need, according to the Boston College
Center for Corporate Citizenship.
Time Warner Cable San Diego has
served as a presenting partner with
the Coronado Schools Foundation for
19 years, by facilitating the production of the annual telethon, a fourhour variety show featuring Coronado’s kids, teachers and community
members, that is aired live over the
local TWC channel.
According to Marc Farrar, vice
president of public affairs for TWC
San Diego, corporate giving is a must.
“In the beginning, from the sidewalks in front of TWC, the event
raised a few thousand dollars, and at
the March event, we raised a record
$124,000,” Cowan said.
The San Diego division of TWC
also hosted a telethon for the Carlsbad Unified school district in March.
Farrar said that TWC’s companywide philanthropic focus is on education, a sector which can give back to
the community as a whole.
If the Shoe Fits
Dr. Edgar Ling talks to Stephanie about her post-operative care through volunteer interpreter,
Tina Salazar.
“While we’re not surveying customers to find out whether they
choose our service over a competitor’s
because of our philanthropy, the positive feedback from administrators,
school foundation members and parents in the community tells us that
the telethon is really making a huge
impact,” Farrar said.
In return for the in-kind donation
of nearly $25,000 in expertise and
equipment, as well as the live air production that TWC provides, the partnership provides good will for the corporation and likely more customers for
their products and services, according
to Patty Cowan, executive director at
the Coronado Schools Foundation.
Mutual benefit for both business
and nonprofit depends on the relevance of the pairing.
Fresh Start Surgical Gifts of
Carlsbad also knows the value of an
in-kind donation. The nonprofit provides surgeries at no cost to children
and young people with physical deformities.
“We are a volunteer organization,
we would not exist without gifts inkind,” said the organization’s Media
Specialist Amelia Devine.
For the last three years, the Center
for Surgery of Encinitas has teamed
with Fresh Start, charging a nominal

Employees Steer Company Giving Efforts
By Jessica Long | Staff Writer
In the corporate world, rarely will spending decisions be made
absent the careful review of a neatly compiled report packed with
facts and figures. That is unless the spending pertains to corporate
philanthropy, where companies often take a leap of faith based on
what they see, feel and hear from their employees.
At the Wells Fargo Foundation, a conscious decision was made
to support causes that employees found important enough to volunteer for or write a personal check to. In San Diego County, the
vast majority of the $2.4 million donated by Wells Fargo last year
went to employee-popular charities.
The shift has led to what seems to be a happier team with a
high retention rate, according to Dean Thorp, regional vice president of the Wells Fargo Foundation.
“I don’t have a real quantitative report, but about six or seven
years ago I saw a cultural shift,” Thorp said. “I just didn’t realize
then it would become what it is today, or I probably would have
tried to put together some sort of report on it.”
The mindset shift hasn’t been too shabby for the company’s
reputation in the community, either.
“Our sponsorship of sports events are well recognized and received but I think more and more people are seeing that Wells
Fargo Foundation is also helping out in the schools and other parts
of the community that really matter most,” Thorp said.
Among the groups to receive aid from Wells Fargo last year:
the San Diego Blood Bank, Girl Scouts, Junior Achievement, Old
Globe Theater and the Special Olympics.
At the Hitachi Foundation, two San Diego facilities participate in
what’s come to be known as the international company’s Community
Action Committees. Hitachi Home Electronics Inc. in Chula Vista and
Hitachi Data Systems in Scripps Ranch raised a collective $70,000
for various charities in the county last year.
Again, no hard numbers are available to show what impact the
company’s involvement in philanthropy has meant for such things
as employee retention, productivity or reputation, but recently a 10point metric system has been started on the assumption that the
harder committees work toward a charitable goal, the stronger the
bond will be between everyone involved.
“We don’t have quantitative data, as in as a result of X, Y happened … but one can assume,” said Renata Hron Gomez, senior
program officer for the Hitachi Foundation.
Another driving force behind a company’s measurement of how
beneficial corporate philanthropy can be to a bottom line is found
in the hiring office. Molly Cartmill, director of corporate community partnerships for Sempra Energy, said it’s clear people nowadays
want to work for a company that gives back.
“I don’t know that we have direct numbers that say that employees who serve stay longer or anything like that but I know that when
people start with us we often hear that they like what they see we do
and it’s part of them wanting to work here,” Cartmill said.
Although she can’t prove objectively that employees stay longer
for the fact that their company is a good philanthropist, Cartmill
doesn’t doubt it.
“Subjectively, I would say that it does help with employee loyalty,” Cartmill said.
Last year, Sempra gave $4.5 million to the community. Its employees gave $1.1 million. Through a matching funds program and
other incentive donations, $900,000 of the money donated last year
by Sempra was a direct result of employee participations.

Q
At digital-telepathy, we constantly strive
to do business in a way that enriches our
community and makes the planet a better place
to live. Giving is the key to achieving our triple
bottom line: Bring profitability to our people, our
planet and only then to our pocketbooks.
A
The joy of working for a socially-conscious
company is that you do not have to check
your morals at the door. The joy of volunteering
your time and talents to those less fortunate is
something that can’t be measured. We give because we want to. We give because it is a part of
each of us as individuals, and brought together,
what makes our company such a great place to
work and San Diego such a great place to live.
Q
A
and why?
dt is a melting pot of many personalities,
and all of us have varied interests and
ideas when it comes to philanthropy. Some of
us bike to work to lower carbon emissions, some
of us teach handicapped kids how to horseback
ride, some of us answer phones during KBPS
telethons, and all of us get together to clean up
Pacific Beach for Earth Day. We don’t just talk
the talk; we prefer to walk the walk. And that
means getting out into the community to do our
part.

Q
A
At dt, we are a passionate bunch. As a group
of fun, outgoing individuals, we love to lend
our talents to any and all local projects that can
enrich our personal selves and our community.
Anybody can write a check to an organization
in need. We prefer to participate in volunteer
events because we have so many talents to
share, and because it’s just plain fun to get out
of the office to take an active role in the world
around us.
Q
A
Our donation funds come from dt’s net profits and countless hours of donated time. Oh,
and we can’t forget pro bono Web development
services.
Q
A
Our company does not involve our employees
in volunteerism, but rather our employees
actively involve the company. dt Do Gooders is
an employee-run initiative that began because a
couple of dt folks recognized that busy employees
need help getting involved. By using San Diegobased Web site Eventful.com, dt Do Gooders’
calendar of events is now accessible to the entire
San Diego community. You, too, can come on out
and join us at our next volunteer activity!
But how do our employees have the necessary
time to log some serious volunteer hours? Because
our boss gives us time off to do so! Everyone at dt
is encouraged to take 2 hours per month to get our
hands dirty in the community. At the end of each
quarter, the employee with the most volunteer
hours is eligible for a donation to his/her charity
of choice. And we’ll soon have a widget on our Web
site so that people can track our progress.
Q
A
First, allow your employees the flexibility they
need to volunteer. Stressed out people aren’t
good for your business, nor are they helpful to a
community in need. Second, foster passion in your
employees. Let them each discover a cause that is
the right fit for their personality and their schedule. Then simply give them opportunities to delight
in that cause and watch the magic happen.
Q
A
At dt, our passion lies in the Web. So as a
company, we donated our time and talents to
It’s All About The Kids Foundation. We created a
truly stellar Web site which, in turn, is a source
for increasing donations for the organization. We
think its founder, Angela Brannon, says it best:

of our foundation...The Internet and our fantastic
Web site have been two huge factors in our success. Thank you dt! You are the best!”

feedback and evaluation. At a basic
level, evaluation may track the number of dollars granted, organizations
served, employees who volunteered
and service hours contributed.
Sempra Energy, the parent company of San Diego Gas & Electric
and Southern California Gas, evaluates its programs based on five areas of impact—societal, customer
relations, employee retention and
loyalty, public relations and business promotion.
An effective program will have
impact in multiple areas, said Molly Cartmill, the company’s director
of corporate community partnerships.
Evaluation should also be internal as well as external. San Diego National Bank used to sponsor
branch-level fund-raising drives
every month, a well-intended effort
that ended up overextending staff
and customers, said Kristy Gregg.
The program was downsized to a
few drives a year, she said.
Ultimately, of course, evaluation
should keep a company connected
to the original goals of its corporate
giving program, said Freeman.
“The most important thing is to
really understand what your priorities are and what’s motivating you,”
Freeman said. “Keep asking the why
question: Why are we doing this and
why is it important. That’s the really
important piece.”
Resources
If the thought of starting or expanding a corporate giving program
still feels intimidating, relax. In addition to local groups like San Diego
Grantmakers and Volunteer San Diego, companies can also draw on the
expertise of a growing network of national organizations that promote corporate philanthropy. Here are a few:

get involved in the community while
meeting business goals.

fee to rent its facilities, according to
Volunteer Coordinator Jennifer Jones
at Fresh Start.
“We needed more space for our
surgeries, and the Center for Surgery
offered to charge us cost plus 10 percent for facility use and equipment.
That’s a great financial deal for us,”
Jones said.
According to Fresh Start Medical
Program Director Candise Flippin,
the gift in-kind dollar value to Fresh
Start from surgery alone is approximately $775,539 in three years’ time.
The Center is closed weekends,
so all of Fresh Start’s charity work
takes place on Saturdays, and the extra revenue is another benefit for the
Center, says Jones.
Chris Clinton, director of surgery
at the Center, echoes the theme of
good will for her staff, which also
has the option to volunteer for Fresh
Start surgeries.
“It really is great Karma for us. We
are in the health care industry, and as
surgeons, our staff feels good about the
option to volunteer,” Clinton said.
While Clinton admits that good
press is a perk to their philanthropic
involvement, other practical perks
like shared employees among the
businesses has proven more beneficial, she says.
Responsibility and Reward
While writing a check has its obvious benefits in simplicity, there may
be something more to gain for busi-

nesses teaming with nonprofits in
the longer term.
Karen Van Dyke, market development director for Bank of America’s
private bank division, says that today’s average consumer requires a
new kind of marketing.
“Cause marketing is a partnership
between a business and a nonprofit
entity for a mutual benefit, and it becomes a triad, benefiting the community as well,” Van Dyke said.
Parker Pike, marketing manager
for UC San Diego Extension and president of Catalyst Marketing, also knows
the benefits of cause marketing, also
known as strategic philanthropy.
According to Pike, corporate giving is not just an extra anymore; the
bar has been raised for major corporations, and proponents of corporate
social responsibility believe that giving is a necessity.
Last October, the private bank
division of BofA along with Luce
Foward Hamilton & Scripps LLP and
CommNexus created a partnership
to host a chalet at the Miramar Airshow, benefiting the Injured Marines
Semper Fi Fund.
“Cause marketing promotes the
company and the nonprofit, but it also
promotes the community at large. In
a military town like San Diego, giving back to the families of marines
who are burdened during recovery is
very important,” Van Dyke said.
The division collected more than
$20 thousand for the Semper Fi Fund
at the event.
“It’s important to seek partners
that make sense for your business, so
you want to consider different alignment possibilities,” Pike said.
The BofA has joined in a sponsorship with the San Diego Natural History Museum to bring the Dead Sea
Scrolls to the city, including a media
plan to help generate the traffic into
this exhibit and creating events for
community involvement.
“In association with BofA’s focus on
arts and culture, aligning schools in the
community with this effort is a main
goal of our project,” said Van Dyke.
Because the essence of cause marketing asks how to build a business
by giving, according to Van Dyke, 90
percent of BofA’s events are aligned
in a cause marketing way.
“It is the corporations giving in
any capacity – time, money and inkind donations – that keeps San Diego strong in the nonprofit sector,”
Pike said.

COMPANYQ&A
Union Bank of California
Q
A
Our giving philosophy is to invest in people,
to demonstrate commitment and to hold
ourselves accountable for improving opportunity
and quality of life in the communities where we
do business.
Q
A
The purpose of Union Bank of California’s
corporate contributions program is to support
community-based organizations engaged in building better economic, educational and cultural opportunities. By helping such organizations, Union
Bank of California helps build a safer, sustainable
and affordable quality of life for our fellow citizens.
Q
A
and why?
A
Q
Cash and volunteerism, with limited in-kind
contributions.
A
As part of its 10-year community reinvestment commitment, the bank has pledged 2
percent of its net profit annually to charitable
contributions. The 2 percent charitable commitment is achieved through contributions and sponsorships made directly by the bank, and by grants
and investments made through the Union Bank
of California Foundation.
Union Bank also has a corporate matching
program to leverage employee contributions to
community-based organizations and educational
institutions.
Q
A
Union Bank funds donations and sponsorships supporting a broad range of charitable categories, including community economic
development, affordable housing, education,
health and human services, culture and the
arts, emergency services and the environment.
The bank is particularly interested in donations and sponsorships that support low-income
populations and promote and enhance diversity
in all its forms.
Union Bank has an employee volunteer program, P.A.L.S. (People Applauding Life and
Service). P.A.L.S. organizes volunteer activities
to benefit the communities in which Union Bank
does business. The efforts are coordinated through
the Union Bank of California Foundation. Events
include activities such as home restoration, neighborhood clean-up, serving meals to needy seniors,
helping to stage arts education events for innercity youth and participating in run/walks coordinated by local nonprofit organizations.

COMPANYQ&A
Pat & Oscar’s Restaurant
Q
A
When Pat & Oscar’s opened their first restaurant in 1991, they had a great vision of
creating a family escape they couldn’t find in San
Diego - one similar to their special dining experience at home. They wanted a good value, where
one night a week the cooking and dishes were
left behind. In addition, they believed that their
family was the community they lived and worked,
as such, made part of the corporate culture to give
back as much as possible.
Q
A
and why?
We support any club or activity whose purpose is to make our community a better place
to live.
Q
A
Cash through our fund-raising programs,
in-kind through our local store market-
ing outreach programs, volunteerism through
our community outreach programs and school
partnerships through our school tour and school
awards programs.
Q
A
Q
A
Pat & Oscar’s has a dedicated budget for each
type of philanthropy we participate in.
Volunteerism and community participation
is central element that is taught to every
team member. We rate each manager every
six months in the community involvement and
participation, this rating is part of what determines their yearly merit increase.
Q
Equastone is governed by the philosophy of
giving back to the community. We support
the issues and causes that are important to our
neighborhoods. Our grassroots style of philanthropy encompasses the small, such as sponsoring
a local sports team, and the large, such as donations to national organizations and support of
the arts. Volunteering is also a key component of
Equastone’s corporate giving philosophy. Equastone employees are strongly encouraged to support organizations that make a positive difference
in the local quality of life.
Q
A
Equastone is excited to be in a position to
make a difference through our own personal
and corporate donations, and leading by example.
We understand that community support helps
drive our company’s success. We experience firsthand that giving creates a win-win scenario for
our business and the community, from supporting
good causes to boosting employee job skills, opening new markets and heightening brand recognition.
Q
A
and why?
We provide human and financial support to
worthwhile causes in the areas of education,
children and youth organizations, health and human services and arts and culture.
a) Recognizing the importance of investing in the
future, Equastone sets education as a key priority.
We seek to strengthen the community by helping children to realize their potential and we are
It has to come from the top down, if your
leadership team doesn’t believe in it, participate in it and support in finically, it will never
be successful. Most importantly, it needs to be
integrated in your company culture for your employees and team members to get believe in what
they are doing.
Q
A
We organized a 3-month campaign where
each Pat & Oscar’s restaurants sold $1 sunburst that were hung in the restaurants. At the
end of the campaign we were able to purchase
five, $4,000 fun centers for Southern California
Children’s hospitals. A Fun Center is a mobile
entertainment unit containing a flat-screen television, DVD player and Nintendo GameCube™
system.
Whether hospitalized children are nervously
awaiting surgery, sitting restlessly during a
long treatment or feeling lonely in their hospital room, the Fun Center helps them cope
by providing endless hours of fun and distraction.
Equastone
COMPANYQ&A
Q
A
A
proud of our efforts thus far to support education.
b) Much of our focus is on children and youth
programs that provide a reliable and safe alternative for kids such as the YMCA, Big Brothers,
Big Sisters and other organizations that empower
youth, adults and communities.
c) We are committed to promoting the health and
human needs of children and families. Equastone proactively donates funds to develop and
strengthen organizations that are dedicated to
nutrition and health services that will improve
the quality of life for those living in our community.
d) Our support to premier arts and culture organizations in our community helps open minds to
the world around us, leading the way to creativity, new understanding and insights and promote
artistic and cultural diversity.
Q
A
We support our community with financial
contributions, in-kind and product donations,
and by encouraging our employees to volunteer.
In 2006, Equastone and its employees gave more
than $250,000 in cash contributions and a combined total of approximately 2,500 hours of volunteering among employees as well as an estimated
$24,000 of in-kind contributions.
Q
A
Equastone typically funds donations directly to each cause. Equastone’s founders,
David Bourne and Chad Carpenter, and EquasA Supplement to the San Diego Business Journal
tone’s employees have also directly funded
donations. As our company continues to grow,
Equastone is able to give more to support local
causes. We are in the process of establishing
The Equastone Foundation, which will enable
the company to match employee donations,
establish criteria for the areas in which we give
and reward associates for time spent volunteering.
Q
A
The spirit of philanthropy is deeply imbedded in the culture of Equastone. We are
proud of the dozens of programs and partnerships that have encouraged community involvement. Our employees have responded positively
to this spirit and have given generously of
themselves. They’ve collected food for the hungry, built homes for the poor, while some serve
on boards of organizations that have had a
positive impact on their own lives. We continue
to support our employees by donating to their
specific charities and encouraging them to get
involved.
Q
A
Both business and society can to benefit from a corporate giving program if
companies can demonstrate programmatic
effectiveness, fiscal accountability and good
stewardship in their philanthropic contribution. The best advice is to be organized and
involved the entire company, from the executives to the entry-level, recognizing that each
person has a gift to share.

COMPANYQ&A
Q
A
With 18 offices around the world, Morrison
& Foerster thinks globally and acts locally.
Through our Foundation, we support nonprofit
organizations that are recommended by our attorneys or staff members for support. Employees
get very involved, by sponsoring and submitting
hundreds of proposals for assistance to organizations. The Foundation’s board of directors then
unanimously selects grantees. But perhaps more
importantly, the firm’s attorneys and staff generously donate their time, day after day, year after
year. In 2006, the 170 employees in our San Diego
office donated 4,991 hours to various projects.
Q
A
As a successful business and California’s
largest law firm, Morrison & Foerster’s partners feel it is our obligation to give back to society.
But we don’t give just out of obligation; we enjoy
giving, both our time and money, to meaningful
causes. After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the
firm quickly published a Helping Hand guide for
survivors, and distributed it widely in the southeast, even though we have no offices in that part
of the country. Some of our attorneys volunteer to
represent “the little guy” when we see someone
being treated unfairly. The San Diego Volunteer
Lawyer Program recognized the firm as San
Diego Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year in 2003 and
2005.
Q
A
and why?
Morrison & Foerster supports programs
in Legal Aid, Arts & Culture, Children
& Youth, Community Development, Education, Health & Science, Housing and Human
Services. Through The Morrison & Foerster
Foundation, the firm is particularly committed
to supporting programs serving disadvantaged

Q
A
As legal experts, Morrison & Foerster attorneys and staff donate many pro bono hours to
help local people and organizations (in San Diego,
almost 5,000 hours in 2006 alone). Also, The
Morrison & Foerster Foundation distributes cash
donations.
Q
A
Since its inception more than 20 years ago,
The Morrison & Foerster Foundation
has
been funded by contributions from Morrison &
Foerster partners, who have donated a percentage
of the firm’s annual net income to the Foundation,
and by firm employees and other members of the
community. Over the years, it has donated close to
$20 million to nonprofit organizations at the local
and national levels. In San Diego, The Foundation
donates more than $100,000 each year to local
organizations, including Rady Children’s Hospital
and Voices for Children, among others.
Separately, the firm’s marketing department
has an annual budget for contributions to charitable fund raisers with a business development or
client relations component.
Q
A
Morrison & Foerster encourages employee
involvement in the community by considering only funding requests sponsored by firm
personnel. To encourage financial support of
community organizations by attorneys and staff,
and to strengthen the impact of that support, The
Foundation offers several matching gift programs.
Morrison & Foerster encourages employees to volunteer in activities that enrich the communities
in which we live and work.
Q
We strongly believe in the importance of community involvement and our Tribal commitment to being a good neighbor and community
partner.
Q
A
Q
A
We engage in philanthropy at all levels in our
organization, including monetary and in-kind
gifts - depending on the requirements of those
in need. We also encourage our team to make a
difference in our community by participating on

It is an obligation that we have taken upon
ourselves to help our neighbors and make
San Diego a better place for everyone.
Q
Q
A
A
and why?
We give to a diverse array of groups and
organizations - from the arts and education
to health and science. If we can make even the
smallest difference we have been successful in our
efforts.
MAY 28, 2007
Three actions are effective in getting employees involved as volunteers for a cause. First,
give them time off from work to do volunteer
work. Giving employees time off one or two days
a year, or even a half a day now and then, builds
morale, while increasing volunteer hours. Second,
bring opportunities to them. Select a few key
events or organizations to support. Invite suggestions from the staff. Then encourage them to volunteer for that cause doing something specific, at
a designated time. Third, get employees involved
as a group. They enjoy volunteering together, and
the teamwork builds morale.
Also, nothing encourages corporate giving like
matching donation programs. Employees are
motivated to give if they know their gift will be
doubled by the company’s generosity.
Q
A
Corazon:
Every June, employees of the San Diego
office of Morrison & Foerster goto Tijuana or
Tecate, Mexico and build a house. Since 2000, 240
employees (including returning volunteers) have
built five houses for young families, and one community center warehouse. In the month before,
the big building day, employees donate half the
money needed for building materials, which The
Foundation matches.
The office collects school supplies each fall,
blankets and warm clothing each winter, and
tools each summer for the Corazon* program,
and has sponsored 20 children with scholarship
money for classes in preschool through high
school.
Secondly, in response to the Southern California wildfires in the fall of 2003, Morrison &
Foerster attorneys and staff quickly worked many,
many volunteer hours to produce the Helping
Handbook for Individuals and Families Affected
by the 2003 Southern California Wildfires.
The firm published similar handbooks after
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, after 9/11 and after
the disastrous New York flood in 2006.

QUALCOMM Inc.
COMPANYQ&A
Q
A
QUALCOMM Incorporated was built on a
commitment to bettering the societies in
which we work and live. Our belief is that building strong shareholder value requires more than
making a profit – it requires making a contribution. This is the cornerstone of being a responsible corporate citizen in today’s world, and it is
essential to what we do at QUALCOMM.

Q
A
QUALCOMM strives to build strong relationships with our community partners. We look
for ways where we can make measurable change,
and bring our breadth of resources -- human,
financial and technical -- to the service of these

Q
A
In the United States, QUALCOMM provides
cash donations directly to IRS recognized
nonprofit organizations. Outside the United
States, QUALCOMM provides donations via the
company’s donor-advised fund with Charities Aid
Foundation America.
QUALCOMM’s corporate giving committee, a
group of employees representing various areas
of the corporation, makes all charitable funding
decisions with input from our employees engaged
in community and philanthropic endeavors. The
corporate giving and volunteerism staff works
within the Human Resources department.
Q
Michael Crews, president, founder and CEO,
believes that when one has been given much,
much needs to be given.
Q
A
Q
A
Michael Crews Development primarily offers
monetary donations. It also donates large quantities of bottled water and company volunteers.
Michael Crews Development knows that
many organizations and events would not be
possible without support from community businesses, and that often people just need a little bit
of assistance to get their feet on the ground. Mr.
Crews is a strong-willed, community involved
citizen who believes in giving to help others grow
and succeed. He has worked hard his whole life
and has been enriched through his successes. As a
kind and caring role model, Mr. Crews has chosen
to share his wealth whenever possible.
and why?
Michael Crews Development gives to people in
need for day-to-day survival. Families, individuals, youth groups and charities are among such
recipients. Patients with cancer or other medical
illnesses, families who through no fault of their own
are short on rent and may end up homeless, elderly
citizens who need much needed surgeries to live,
poverty-stricken children who need shoes for school,
etc.. The company also gives to any community service that benefits people in need. Another important
area of giving for Michael Crews Development is
community development including, schools, churches and historical foundations.
QUALCOMM’s corporate volunteerism
program, QUALCOMM Cares, encourages
employee involvement in the community and is
our way of connecting our diverse employee base
to local volunteer opportunities.
From walk-a-thons to holiday drives, QUALCOMM Cares creates many opportunities for its
employees, friends and families to participate in
charitable events. Our employees’ efforts serve a
wide range of needs, from helping people with disabilities and improving the environment, to feeding
and clothing the homeless and caring for animals.
QUALCOMM Cares organizes volunteer teambuilding projects as special opportunities for internal
departments to foster teamwork and celebrate accomplishments, while simultaneously contributing
to the improvement of our communities.
Q
A
San Diego Police Foundation:
A $1 million-dollar gift, the largest single
donation ever received by the San Diego Police
Foundation, allowed the Police Department to put
state-of-the-art handheld communication devices
and geographic-based location capabilities to
work for the officers and dispatchers.
The upgraded equipment served to enhance
police patrol communications and improve dispatch
and response times. It helped the police department
implement advanced global tracking applications
and position the department as an industry leader
in patrol communications and broadband applications.

A

Q
A
Donations through the H.O.M.E. charity
(Helping Others More Efficiently) are raised
through an annual country music concert. Michael Crews Development matches the amount
raised each year and a five-person advisory board
decides allocation recipients and amounts. Other
donations are made directly from Michael Crews
based on his wishes, as well as community relation and HR recommendations.
Q
A
The company encourages employees to
participate in various community events by
allowing paid time off from work for things such
as set-up at the annual Valley Center July 4th
Picnic and Fireworks Celebration and the annual
HOME fund-raising concert. During weekly meetings, employees are also informed of important
events to consider participating in.
Q
A
Just do it. The rewards reaped from implementing any type of philanthropic program far exceed any stressors or complications
you may come across when starting up such a
program. Start small and allow your program
to grow as your pool of charitable funds grows.
Find a program similar to one you would like to
instill and structure yours accordingly. Always
remember there are a lot of people out there
willing to help you out and make your program
a success.
Q
A
Michael Crews Development’s biggest success is the H.O.M.E. charity (Helping Others More Efficiently). Michael Crews Development gets numerous solicitations for donations,
and the owners wanted to know their donations
were going to the right causes. So in 1999, Michael and Kelly Crews started their own charity
with a five-member board of directors so they
could decide exactly where to donate funds.
H.O.M.E. gives money to hardworking families
and individuals who are struggling through a
crisis, who through no fault of their own are not
eligible for governmental aid. There are certain people who fall through the cracks – they
have worked hard their whole life yet when
faced with adversity such as medical illness,
they are not eligible for certain programs. Since
1999, more than $400,000 has been raised from
the H.O.M.E. charity benefit concerts, and the
charity has helped thousands of people in need
(www.helpingothers.org).

Describe a major philanthropic success your company has achieved?
Philanthropy Defines
San Diego
In my years in San Diego, I have been involved with countless nonprofit organizations. By serving on boards, chairing
fund-raisers, serving on committees and conducting site visits
at a large number of organizations, I have found the needs are
great and the dollars are in huge demand.
There are thousands of nonprofits in San Diego County,
and many of the organizations have up to
10 fund-raisers a year. Donors expect accountability and transparency; they want to
be certain their dollars are going directly to
programs and services. They not only want
to see financial statements, but they should
see them.
When donors look to make a contribution, they are not just handing over a check,

anticipate those questions and be prepared
with answers.
Philanthropy has been a way of life for me and my family. I was once asked, “what was my introduction to giving.” I
answered, “I don’t remember living without giving back.” As a
child, our family was taught that giving to our church was every bit as important as buying groceries. I have always known
that no matter how little I had, there was always someone who
had less. I feel blessed that I have been able to be the giver and
not the receiver. But the truth is I feel I get much more back
than what I give, be it hours worked or dollars contributed.
There are many ways to give. The old adage of “time, talent
and treasure” has proven to be true over and over again.
Charity has never been more important, and giving is serious business. Due to heightened scrutiny by media and government, organizations are held accountable for the use of
funds. Those who do the best job will reap the benefits of more
dollars.
I often wonder what would happen to our community if volunteers stopped working and nonprofits stopped providing services,
employing people and spending millions of dollars in the community to benefit the local economy. My sense is this would not be a
very desirable community to live, work or play.
San Diego is blessed with many generous people who are
willing to share their wealth for a myriad of good causes. Because there are only a few Fortune 500 companies based in
San Diego, more of the burden falls to individuals. But indviduals cannot do it all. We need company support, too. Statistically 84 percent of Americans’ private giving comes from
individual citizens. We should all do our part and give when,
where and what we can. Give more and expect less!
A
In 2006, AT&T and the AT&T
Foundation jointly introduced
AT&T AccessAll, the company’s $100
million signature giving initiative.
The AT&T AccessAll program – a
three-year commitment – delivers
technology access to low-income
families and underserved communities across the country. The largest AT&T AccessAll initiative is a
collaboration with One Economy,
Habitat for Humanity affiliates and
other low-income housing providers to deliver technology packages,
including Internet access to 50,000
low-income families. This is the
nation’s largest-ever commitment to
providing in-home technology access.

CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY
Corporate Philanthropy Means More than Giving Money
Submitted by Torrey Pines Bank
When Eric Northbrook broke his back in early 2006 on a dirt bike trip with other real estate
colleagues, his life instantly changed. For some
people, a spinal chord injury such as Eric’s, would
be life altering forever, but for Eric, he is still the
same man he was before the accident.
Today, 15 months after the accident, Eric has
returned to his usual activities — a 50-hour workweek, skiing, snowmobiling and he recently started golfing again.
Daily life is demanding for an individual with
a spinal chord injury. Eric, still in a wheelchair, is
fighting to spread awareness and financial support
for others in his situation.
Through Eric’s foundation, which was established with his business partner, Steve Rosetta,
the HeadNorth Foundation (www.headnorth.org)
has given Eric a chance to reach out to people who
have suffered from spinal chord injuries with a
very simple goal: help 3 to 5 people every year.
With the support of business acquaintances,
family, friends and corporate partners, including
Torrey Pines Bank, Eric has been able to achieve
more without compromising the core values upon
which the HeadNorth Foundation is built — personal relationships.
“The bank has been more than a bank — more
than a place for me to conduct my banking business … they’ve been a supporter of HeadNorth in
other ways,” Eric said.
MAY 28, 2007
With a highly anticipated fund-raiser coming
up this spring, Tim Himstreet, Eric’s relationship
manager, will be found at the event in full support
of not only the program, but Eric, too.
“Our philosophy at Torrey Pines Bank is build
strong relationships and help people successfully
manage their banking needs, but you can’t build a
strong relationship by knowing only half the story,”
said Tim Himstreet, senior vice president and regional market manager for the bank’s Golden Triangle office. “My goal is also helping people achieve
their personal aspirations. I take an active interest
in other people’s lives because everything I do is
about building strong relationships.”
Eric required this kind of personal connection
and did not want to be just another account holder
to his bank — he wanted to remain Eric Northbrook. “I’ve learned that banking is a relationship
business. The business of life is about relationships.”
The business and personal relationships that
Eric and Tim have developed during the years is
nurtured through unparalleled person service but
the bank’s special banking program for 501(c) nonprofit organizations illustrates its commitment to
truly understanding the business needs within the
nonprofit community.
Torrey Pines Bank offers an ADD-CASH contribution between 25 to 50 basis points for nonprofit
organizations based on the average balance of their
deposit accounts.
“That’s a nice thing, certainly unexpected,” Eric
said.
The services don’t stop there. With a full selection of deposit and loan options, safe deposit boxes
and courier service, banking becomes a breeze—
the HeadNorth Foundation can focus its efforts on
more important things, such as helping a paraplegic buy a new wheelchair.
As Eric discovered, Torrey Pines Bank is reaching out to the community with a strong conviction.
Every month, a new local nonprofit organization is
discovering the same through the Base Hit Bonus
program.
Torrey Pines Bank has teamed up with Padres First Baseman Adrian Gonzalez, to donate
cash to a local charity for every hit Gonzalez makes
in the 2007 season — from $25 for every single
all the way up to $500 for every grand slam!
Anyone can nominate a local charity for the Base
Hit Bonus funding at www.torreypinesbank.com.
“There’s an opportunity for people to make a
difference in a lot of lives,” Eric said. If the HeadNorth Foundation is any indication, Torrey Pines
Bank has definitely stepped up to the plate.

A Cause with Paws
By Kelsey Angus
Today, successful businesses encompass more than just making profits. They are about making a difference.
Even the smallest companies and
the busiest people can make a big difference in the community through
corporate giving. Too often, this term
represents large contributions from
companies that mean nothing to
their employees. The goal of corporate giving should not only be beneficial to the community the company
serves, it should also be representa-
tive of causes that are appealing to
its employees. Companies can promote teambuilding and motivation
by choosing a common cause that is
important to many people across the
organization. Oftentimes, this commonality lays right at people’s feet—
their pets.
As a nonprofit organization that
receives no public funding, the San
Diego Humane Society and SPCA
has supported pets and people in the
San Diego community for more than
125 years. The organization depends
on the generous and faithful gifts of
time and money from the community
to provide for the animals left in their
care, support community programs,
help fight animal abuse and neglect
and further other mission-related activities. These gifts include corporate
giving programs.
The advantage of corporate giving is that it allows a company to
connect with its employees through
causes that are important to them.
Supporting the San Diego Humane
Society is a great way to connect with

something to which many people can
relate. Whether they had a pet in
their childhood or have one now; who
can resist the sweet face of a loving
dog, playful kitten, chirping bird, an
adorable small and fuzzy or an exotic
reptile?
According to a 1999 Trend Report,
87 percent of employees at companies
with philanthropic programs feel a
stronger sense of loyalty to their employer. Furthermore, the organization
gains a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining employees, increases leadership and development
opportunities for employees and improves internal communication and
common purpose.
Not only do pets form a common
bond between employees in an organization, helping the San Diego Humane Society can also help a company connect with its customers. In that
same report, 76 percent of consumers
indicate they would switch brands
or retailers to one associated with a
good cause, when price and quality
are equal. The report also found that
external benefits of corporate philanthropy included improved customer
loyalty, enhanced reputation and
standing in the community, and new
and enhanced relationships with key
community leaders and officials.
There are many ways for a company to become involved with corporate giving.
The key is to find what works best
for that particular organization. By
working with the San Diego Humane
Society to set up a program, companies
can also connect and team build with
their employees on a variety of different
levels, such as group events, fund raisers, volunteer opportunities and more.

Loyalty to San Diego’s Education Community is Hallmark of
Credit Union’s Support
By Michelle Brega
Forty-five years ago a group of educators came
together to form the Public Schools Federal Credit
Union, a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution chartered to serve San Diego’s certified and
classified school personnel.
Its first office was housed at the San Diego
County Board of Education, and one of the perks
of membership was that loan payments were not
required when school was out during summer
months.
While its name later changed to Mission Federal,
and membership is now open to all San Diegans,
the credit union’s commitment to local education
is unwavering. School districts, students, teachers,
administrators and volunteers throughout San Diego County have been the beneficiaries of Mission
Federal’s loyalty to its roots. The $2 billion financial
institution recently opened the doors to the Mission
Federal Credit Union Community Foundation, institutionalizing their commitment to providing philanthropic support to the community.
“Supporting education is in our DNA,” said Ron
Martin, CEO of Mission Federal Credit Union. “We
would not exist if not for the local schools.”
In addition to philanthropic contributions, the
credit union continues to provide the education
community with the products and services it requires, such as lower rates on loans, higher rates
on savings, an extensive countywide branch network, ten-pay and a summer saver account.
The full-service financial institution’s support is
broad and diverse, touching all corners of San Diego County learning network, bolstering academic
achievement and enhancing the learning environment. The credit union encourages the aspirations
of the half million students in San Diego’s K-12
classrooms through its philanthropic support of
the San Diego County Office of Education, school
districts and hundreds of nonprofits dedicated to
youth. Mission Federal also actively supports local
colleges and universities.
The credit union personalized its commitment
to education when employees and members opened
their hearts and wallets for the 2006 Mission Federal Credit Union Memory Walk benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association. The credit union was the title sponsor of the event to honor Dr. Len Servetter,
former superintendent of Chula Vista Elementary
School District and former Mission Federal board
member, who is now afflicted with the devastating
disease.
For more than a decade, Mission Federal Credit
Union has made a commitment to supporting financial literacy in area schools, teaching the basics of personal finance to young adults.
“We can augment the classroom learning expe-
rience by providing financial education programs.
While students are prepared for the academic rigors of college, they may need additional assistance
in life 101,” Martin said. “That’s where we have
stepped up to meet the need.”
Mission Federal has also made its financial education curriculum, “Personal Finance 101,” available at www.missionfcu.org.
Martin is personally involved in local education.
He serves on several education-related boards, including the Classroom of the Future Foundation,
which connects public education with business to
encourage innovation.
“San Diego’s business community cannot
thrive without strong schools and high-performing students,” he said. “Businesses must partner
with schools, leveraging our resources – whether
it’s dollars, volunteer time or maximizing our
network – for the benefit of the students and for
those who serve as the foundation of our learning
system.”

Working Toward Long-Term Solutions for the Crisis of the
Medically Uninsured
By Diane Strum
The mission of Kaiser Permanente is to improve
and maintain the health of its members by providing accessible, affordable, comprehensive, highquality health care. Kaiser Permanente’s philosophy about the uninsured is similar.
Providing hospital services to the medically
uninsured is important, but helping them avoid
the need for hospital services in the first place is
even more valuable. That is why Kaiser Permanente subsidized coverage programs for uninsured
families and children, health education efforts,
clinical research and financial support of nonprofit
community health centers, as well as population
based health care programs are vital. Preventive
and routine outpatient care is primary to reducing
the need for hospitalizations.
Kaiser Permanente believes that the key to ultimately solving California’s indigent care problem
is expanding health coverage to all. Kaiser Permanente has been working diligently in San Diego
County, Sacramento and Washington, D. C., and
joining with other interest groups and stakeholders in collaborative efforts to develop and support
legislative action as well as to design programs
to address the uninsured crisis. It believes the issue of health care for the uninsured is everyone’s
problem. To the extent that a financing solution
involves the health care industry, Kaiser Permanente provides substantial financial resources to
carry its fair share, while more far-reaching solutions are being sought.
Kaiser Permanente is a unique not-for-profit,
integrated group practice health plan that owns
and operates its own hospitals and clinics, and contracts exclusively with the Permanente Medical
Group to provide care to its health plan members.
In light of its unique model, Kaiser Permanente
makes community contributions that are both similar to, as well as distinct from those provided by
other health systems, insurers and managed care
organizations.
Efforts that are similar to those provided by
most hospitals include the following:
Emergency and charity care. Kaiser Foundation Hospital provides emergency care 24/7 to
anyone with life threatening conditions, whether
they are members or not, and regardless of their
ability to pay. It also provides outpatient medical
treatment and offer a financial assistance program
to families and individuals who are unable to pay
for their medical care.
Medi-Cal. Kaiser Permanente contracts with
the State Department of Health Services to provide comprehensive in-patient and outpatient services for our Medi-Cal members, on a prepaid, as
well as a fee-for-service basis.
Healthy Families. Kaiser Permanente contracts with the State to provide comprehensive
in-patient and outpatient health care services to
children under the age 19 of low- and moderateincome, eligible families.
Major Risk Medical Insurance Program
(MRMIP). MRMIP provides limited insurance for
those who are not eligible for individual coverage
because of pre-existing conditions or excessively
high medical bills.
Kaiser Permanente also makes substantial contributions to the care of the uninsured in ways that
are distinct from other hospitals and health systems.
The Steps Plan is designed to provide medical
coverage at a reduced cost to individuals who are
financially needy and not eligible for subsidized
coverage through other private or public programs
such as Medi-Cal, Healthy Families or Medicare. It
is offered at graduated or “stepped” percentages of
the Individual Health Plan monthly premium, and
is designed to transition individuals and families
with no health insurance from a subsidized plan
to full, unsubsidized health care coverage over a
period of one to four years.
The Breast Cancer Early Detection and Treatment Program is a collaborative public/private effort that provides comprehensive, free treatment
for uninsured women diagnosed with breast cancer. Kaiser Permanente was the first health care
system in the county to offer the treatment aspect
of the program. To date, more than 115 women
have received breast cancer treatment at Kaiser
Permanente in San Diego.
Not-for-profit hospitals must provide community benefits in the public’s interest as a condition
of their special tax status. Kaiser Permanente continues to play an active role, both financially and
in human resources, in a countywide coalition of
health systems, Community Health Improvement
Partners, which addresses unmet health needs of
vulnerable and at risk populations and to improve
access to care for uninsured.
Kaiser Permanente also contributes to communities through its health education theater programs, medical research, health education classes,
surplus equipment donation programs, partnerships with local government to meet community
needs, as well as staff and physician volunteer work
in the community. A major commitment to community health is in the form of financial grants. In
the past year alone, Kaiser Permanente San Diego
awarded community grants totaling $1.97 million
to local health and human service organizations.
Kaiser Permanente is proud of its active involvement in the development of significant public policy relating to the financing and delivery of
health care. At local, state and national levels, Kaiser Permanente has offered public policy makers
its expertise in many areas, from delivery of care
to technical consulting.
These grants, activities and collaborations are not
new for Kaiser Permanente — community benefit is
integral to its mission. As its health plan has grown
over the past 60 years, Kaiser Permanente has increased these contributions, and plan to continue to
do so as long as it takes, as a community and a nation, to end the crisis of the medically uninsured.

Credit Union Membership Has its Rewards
By Mike Maslak
There are many things that make credit unions
differnt from other financial service providers. One
of these differences is the commitment to assist
members with their financial well-being beyond
simply offering low fees and great rates.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives, owned by the people who save and borrow
there. Every member has the right to vote on policies and for members of their credit union board.
The majority of credit union boards are made up of
volunteer members.
Unlike most other financial institutions, credit
unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned
to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher
interest on deposits and lower fees.
In 2007, members of North Island Credit Union
can expect even more giveaways, incentives, rewards and sweepstakes. As part of the 12-month
Island Rewards program, “The Island” is offering
its members the chance to win a 2007 Toyota Prius
or 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid car — giving one car
away each month — in its Car-a-Month sweepstakes. Another Island advantage, the winning
members will get great gas mileage, while being
kind to the environment.
Along with a new car, members are eligible for
gas cards for referring new members, a trip to Cabo
San Lucas, and for the kids in the family, the opportunity to throw out the opening pitch at a Padres
game or be a Chargers Kickoff Kid at a 2007 game.
Also included in the Island Rewards book are special member offers on auto loans, certificates, online
banking, free financial analyst services, free online
bill payment and free checks. And if that weren’t
enough, every member will get a coupon for a free
28-by-11 inch poster of the newly upgraded Island
Paradise custom artwork for North Island Credit
Union by artist David Schweitzer.
“The Island Rewards Program is yet another benA Supplement to the San Diego Business Journal
efit of credit union membership,” said Mike Maslak,
North Island Credit Union president and CEO. “It
is also a reflection of the credit union difference and
our commitment, as an industry, to add innovative
perks to our products and services. As a nonprofit

Be a Good Corporate Neighbor
Increase Morale, Build Team Spirit, Connect with the Community
By Miriam H. DiBiase
Everybody wants to live next to a thoughtful
neighbor. There’s comfort in a community where
neighbors look out for each other and take responsibility for a safe neighborhood atmosphere.
It’s the same with corporate neighbors. Everyone benefits when businesses and corporations take
responsibility in the community, look out for their
neighbors and find ways to contribute to the community’s quality of life. Companies with these values are
more than just workplaces, they offer employees fulfillment that reaches beyond a paycheck.
Businesses throughout San Diego County have
discovered an easy way to be good corporate neighbors. Volunteering to benefit the homeless at Father Joe’s Villages is a great way to give back to
the community.
Teaming up to help neighbors in need increases
morale, builds team spirit and develops a stronger
connection to the community. By volunteering and
collecting donations, employees and executives realize that it is possible to make a real difference in
their community.
As the largest provider of homeless services in
San Diego County, and a county leader in providing affordable work force housing, Father Joe’s Villages offers multiple opportunities to get involved.
Here are just a few ways to be a good corporate
neighbor:
• Volunteer Individually or as a Group – St.
Vincent de Paul Village serves more than 4,000
meals to residents and members of the community
every day, and even more on holidays. Groups are
always needed to help prepare and serve meals, or
a company can “sponsor” a meal by providing the
funds to cover all the costs. Additionally, the Village
Family Health Center, which serves more than 3,000
individual patients each year, welcomes volunteer
medical professionals of all disciplines. Opportunities are also available tutoring adults in its Career
and Education Center, assisting with special events
and helping in the Children’s Services Center.
• To volunteer contact Laura Kojima, director
of Volunteer Services, at (619) 645-6412 x1102 or
e-mail [email protected].
• Hold a Drive or Donate Excess Inventory
– Tens of thousands of neighbors in need come to Father Joe’s Villages for assistance every year. Whether
they need residential and rehabilitation services, job
training, affordable housing, work clothes, substance
abuse services, or just a nutritious meal, neighbors
in need know they can find help at the Villages. Seasonal drives for food, clothing, gifts and baby-care
needs help balance the cost of purchasing the items
the organization provides to neighbors and residents.
Groups can hold a drive at any time of year. Donations of excess inventory of furniture, clothing, perishable and non-perishable food, building supplies,
appliances and more are also extremely helpful as
Father Joe’s strives to meet the costs of maintaining
its facilities and programs.
• To organize a drive or donate excess inventory,
contact Oscar Labiano, director of Administrative
Operations, at (619) 446.2702 or e-mail [email protected].
• Participate in a Service Project – Father
Joe’s Villages operates 11 facilities in San Diego
alone, and has plans to construct several more
within San Diego County over the next five years.
A lot of paint, cleaning supplies, electrical wires,
trash bags, plumbing fixtures and elbow grease go
into keeping its facilities in tip-top shape. If any
organization offers a special talent in maintenance
or construction – or just has the energy and enthusiasm to work hard – Father Joe’s may have a
service project especially for them.
• To inquire about service project opportunities, contact Laura Kojima, director of Volunteer
Services, at (619) 645-6412 x1102 or e-mail laura.
[email protected].
• Sponsor or Form a Team for a Special
Event – Father Joe’s Thanksgiving Day 5K Run/
Walk is held annually in Balboa Park on Thanksgiving morning and benefits its meals program.
Father Joe’s annual Tee Off for Teens golf tournament in the spring raises much-needed funds
for Toussaint Academy of the Arts and Sciences,
where the organization serves 35 homeless teenagers each day. The San Diego International Triathlon, held each year in June, benefits all programs.
Special events are held throughout the year and
are excellent opportunities to represent a company
by organizing a team, raising pledges or sponsoring the event.
• To learn more about special events and sponsoring opportunities, contact Ryan Pocock of the
Fundraising Team at (619) 446-2119 or e-mail
[email protected].

Energy Company Powered by its Commitment to the Community
By Steve Davis
Sempra Energy is a company committed to being a good corporate citizen through leadership
and philanthropy. With 14,000 employees worldwide, the company strongly believes that giving
back to the communities where its employees work
and live is not only good business – it’s also the
right thing to do.
Sempra Energy also believes that every company is a reflection of its people. People are the single
greatest resource and key to the company’s success. Employees of the Sempra Energy companies
are encouraged to give back to the communities
where they work and live through contributions
and thousands of volunteer hours.
Because Sempra Energy invests in its employees
in addition to creating an atmosphere that promotes
employee development and embraces different views
and diversity of people, it’s been able to attract, develop and retain the best people in the industry.
The Sempra Energy Companies
Sempra Energy was created in 1998 by a merger
of parent companies of two long-established, and
highly respected, investor-owned utilities with rich
histories dating back more than 100 years. Those
utilities are San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas Co.
This summer, Sempra Energy will celebrate its
ninth anniversary. By nearly any measure, its first
decade in business has been an unqualified success. What was primarily a regional Southern California company in 1998 has become a significant
player on a global scale.
The Sempra Energy companies include a blend
of stable businesses that develop energy infrastructure, operate utilities and provide related products
and services. By diversifying its businesses and
seeking long-term solutions to challenges, Sempra
Energy proves that well-managed, responsible corporations can succeed, even in tough business environments. These diversified assets have become
the cornerstone of Sempra Energy’s success.
Many Levels of Community Involvement
In addition to corporate community involvement, Sempra Energy actively supports their employees’ involvement in the community through a
variety of programs. The employee giving program,
Energy for Others, provides employees with the opportunity and a mechanism through which to donate nearly $550,000 to charitable organizations.
Through the Matching Gifts Program, Sempra
Energy matched another $600,000 in employee and
director contributions to nearly 400 organizations.
And through the company’s Volunteer Incentive
Program, nearly 1,000 employees generously contributed their time to more than 500 charities.
These contributions support a number of diverse causes and programs because the company
is comprised of a diverse employee population.
The company’s strong commitment to diversity
embraces programs that provide measurable outcomes for the communities where the company
does business.
Together, the company and its employees work
alongside nonprofit groups, academia, media and
business and civic leaders who are working to ensure the growth and vitality of the community.
Recent Achievements
Sempra Energy isn’t just being recognized locally, it’s also being singled out nationally with
several prestigious awards.
Earlier this year, Sempra Energy was named
one of Fortune magazine’s “Most Admired Companies” in its industry and to The BusinessWeek 50
list of best-performing companies. The company
also has been chosen for DiversityInc.’s “Top 50
Companies for Diversity” for several years.
At the Sempra Energy utilities, Southern California Gas Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric received top marks from JD Power & Associates for
customer satisfaction.
Sempra Energy is proud of these accomplishments and recognizes that building and maintaining a respected corporate reputation is a constantly evolving effort. It’s one of the key objectives as
the company continues to grow.
Future Opportunities
Sempra Energy’s future is poised for growth
and prosperity. And as the company continues to
reinvent itself in the marketplace, it will continue to do the same in the communities it serves.

Partnership Helps Preuss Students Achieve Life-Long Goals
By Donald Stump
When 96 percent of a high school’s graduating
class is admitted to four-year colleges and universities; and when all those students are from the
lowest-income neighborhoods of San Diego and
will be the first in their families to graduate from
college; that says something about the school, the
students and their supporters. This is what’s happening at the Preuss School UCSD.
Jointly chartered in 1999 by the San Diego Unified School District and the University of California,
San Diego, the Preuss School is a charter middle and
high school dedicated to providing a college preparatory education for motivated low-income students
who will become the first in their families to graduate
from college. Preuss students are selected through
an application process and lottery. To be eligible, an
applicant must meet three criteria:
1. Verified low income.
2. No parent who has graduated from a community college or university.
3. Motivation to benefit from a rigorous curricu-
lum. Every year, Preuss receives approximately
500 eligible applications for 6th grade and admits
110 through a random lottery.
The school’s 760 students represent San Diego’s
cultural diversity, 22 percent are Asian and Pacific
Islander, 13 percent are African-American, 59 percent are Latino and 6 percent are White. More than
90 percent of students ride a bus daily for more
than 45 minutes, each way, from City Heights, Barrio Logan, Chula Vista, San Ysidro and neighborhoods of southeastern San Diego.
Helping these hardworking students graduate from
high school and move on to college requires sustained
effort from friends of the school and from the corporate community – people and institutions who touch
students’ lives by volunteering as mentors, tutoring
in classrooms, sponsoring the annual Classic Cars for
Classic Kids gala, or providing a gift or grant.
Gen-Probe, a world-leading molecular diagnostics
company based in San Diego, has been a long-term
supporter of the school’s Science & Engineering Ini-
tiative through the company’s annual sponsorship of
the Gen-Probe Saturday Science Enrichment Academy. Gen-Probe provides numerous volunteers to
help middle school students prepare for science tests,
and help high school students create stellar science
fair projects. Gen-Probe employees mentor some of
the highest-risk students at the school, and also host
Preuss students and parents at the corporate headquarters for an annual career fair.
In 2007 alone, Preuss has been recognized as a
California Distinguished School, received the Title I
Academic Achievement Award and prepared five 2007
graduates to be awarded Gates Millennium Scholarships. None of this would have been possible without
the generous and sustained support of the San Diego
community and corporate leaders like Gen-Probe.

Community Builder Teams with San Diego
Historical Society in $2 Million Fund-Raising Effort
Submitted by The Corky McMillin Companies
The Corky McMillin Companies
is spearheading a campaign to raise
$2 million for the San Diego Historical Society. The funds raised through
Dec. 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous donor, meaning
each gift, grant and new or renewed
membership dues will be doubled.
“San Diego’s history is our history
and we, as a company, are dedicated
to telling the story of how San Diego
got to be America’s finest city,” said
Scott McMillin, a CEO of The Corky
McMillin Companies. “All of us at McMillin are excited to be at the forefront of this fund-raising effort.”
According to Mark McMillin, a CEO
of The Corky McMillin Companies, an
additional reason for the company’s
wanting to participate in the fundraising effort this year is to honor the
presidency of the San Diego Historical
Society’s Robert Adelizzi.
A pillar in San Diego’s business community, Adelizzi once headed up Home
Federal Savings and Loan and now
serves as an independent board member
of The Corky McMillin Companies.
“We look forward to working closely
with Bob on this campaign,” Mark McMillin said. “The great relationship he
has with everyone at McMillin will be

a tremendous asset in making this endeavor successful.”
The funds raised through the campaign will help set up a permanent
endowment for the Historical Society,
allowing it to protect its future in perpetuity and continue its efforts to preserve San Diego’s history through its
three museums and massive archives.
A portion of the funds raised will go
toward a new exhibit at the Historical
Society’s Museum of San Diego History in Balboa Park. Entitled “Place
of Promise: Stories of San Diego,” the
new exhibit will highlight the rich and
diverse history of the San Diego region
and encourage dialogue between the
past and present with the goal of creating a more vibrant future.
Housed in three galleries, it will
present the chronological history of
San Diego through different themes
such as transportation, resource
management, land development and
neighborhood identities. Photography
collections hung throughout the gallery space will show the diverse nature of San Diego’s people, economy
and intellectual and cultural centers.
Work on this exhibit began in 2005,
and the first phase opened last July.
“In addition to the many exhibitions
the Historical Society provides, the pro-
Museum in Presidio Park, Villa Montezuma in Sherman Heights and The
Museum of San Diego History and
Marston House, both in Balboa Park.
“We couldn’t be more proud of the partnership between McMillin and the Historical Society,” Mark McMillin said. “It’s
representative of the importance of community involvement to a growing city.”
Founded in 1960 by the late Corky McMillin, one of California’s most honored
community builders and civic leaders,
the McMillin family business repeatedly
earns top rankings for excellence among
both the public and building industry
peers. The firm is led today by Corky’s
two sons, Scott and Mark, both of whom
have been active in company leadership
roles for nearly three decades.
Demonstrating strength through diversity, The Corky McMillin Companies
include McMillin Land Development,
McMillin Homes, McMillin Commercial,
McMillin Mortgage and McMillin Realty. The overall firm offers a full range of
in-house services to afford buyers unsurpassed performance and a truly one-stop
homebuying opportunity.

Giving Back to the Community in Which it Serves
Performance. Commitment. People. At Union Bank of California,
community reinvestment is predicated on these three underlying values.
Performance
Union Bank has high expectations
for its performance, but relies on others to judge its community impact.
The Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency — the chief federal regulatory agency for national banks — assesses the bank’s community reinvestment
activities, including lending, community development investments and retail
banking and community development
services. A rating of Outstanding is the
highest that the agency bestows.
In its most recent OCC exam, Union
Bank of California received an “Outstanding” rating in all three test categories — lending, services and investment. While sound banking practices
and good service to the community are
not all about ratings, the bank is proud
of the effort behind the recognition.

youth,” added Scott McMillin. “We need
to show the future generations where
they came from and how San Diego
has developed over the years.”
Donations to the Historical Society are welcomed and can be made
in a number of ways. Gifts in-kind,
of cash, securities, life insurance and

The San Diego Historical Society,
the oldest chartered historical society
in California, was founded in 1928 by
civic leader George W. Marston. An
educational and cultural institution
dedicated to preserving and sharing
San Diego’s growing historical collections and extensive archives with
members, visitors and the community,
the society’s mission is to connect the
past to the future so that all generations will understand and appreciate
the richness of San Diego’s history.
The Historical Society offers numerous educational programs, including school programs, public education
programs and education outreach programs. It features four unique properties including the Junipero Serra

in time. The company’s commitment is
for the long term. It will continue working hard to meet the credit needs of all
the communities it serves.
To that end, Union Bank has renewed its 10-year community rein-

vestment commitment. The commitment increases by nearly 50 percent,
the percentage of total assets the bank
reinvests in California’s communities. This commitment includes small
business and small farm loans, family
housing, consumer loans and services,
loans and services to nonprofits, supplier diversity and charitable giving.
The bank will continue to allocate
2 percent of after-tax earnings to its
charitable contributions program.
Through the Union Bank of California Foundation, the company will
seek to focus less on charity, which
attempts to alleviate the symptoms
of social problems, to a deeper focus
on philanthropy, which addresses the
underlying causes of those problems.
Union Bank will target funding to
four strategic categories to assist lowand moderate-income communities:
affordable housing, community economic development, education and
the environment. The bank views all
of San Diego’s communities as places
of growth and opportunity and seek
to provide a hand up, not a handout.
The bank invested $16.8 million in the
communities where it does business. In
addition, the bank’s matching gifts program raised $1.2 million in 2006 for employees’ designated charities.
Union Bank seeks to be a trusted
partner who is personally invested in
the success of people — the entrepreneur, the first-time homebuyer, the
affordable housing developer, the minority business owner, the low-income
consumer who needs alternative financial services, the nonprofit leaders who
work so hard to serve those in need.
Union Bank of California believes

The San Diego Symphony kicks off
its 10-week Summer Pops season June
29, 2007. Guest artists, including Burt
Bacharach, Marvin Hamlisch, Chris
Botti, Aaron Neville and Abbamania,
will be performing with the Symphony at the downtown Embarcadero
Marina Park South. New last year,
the Symphony offers its “champagne
chalet,” a 30-seat “corporate box” opportunity for those companies seeking
entertaining options beyond the standard sporting event packages.

With corporate sponsorship dollars becoming increasingly competitive, the nonprofit community must
respond with creative and novel partnering opportunities, specifically targeted toward their partner’s business
objectives.
“A win/win partnership is essential, not only in securing corporate
support but in maintaining and
building that support over the ensuing years,” said Megan Pogue, director of corporate development for the
San Diego Symphony.
The San Diego Symphony, with
its many diverse programming options such as Core classical, light
classical, Winter Pops, Family Festival, educational, and the ever-popular Summer Pops series, is able to
appeal to many different businesses,
each seeking their own signature opportunity to co-brand with the Symphony.
“In my opinion, corporate sponsorship is all marketing-driven; our
objective is to create customized
packages that will demonstrate a
measurable return to our partners.”
Pogue said, “To that end, it’s important that we sit down with prospective sponsors to really get a feel for
their budget and objectives in order
to provide a solution that will make a
sizeable impact on their current and
prospective customer base.”
The Symphony offers a wide range
of options, ranging from use of its
breathtaking historic 2,300-seat indoor Symphony Hall or its spectacular outdoor bay front venue to house
corporate meetings and/or special
events; private on-site concerts; offsite musical entertainment (at partner-directed venue); world-renowned
guest artist appearances at private
corporate functions; joint events
where the corporation seeks exposure
to the Symphony patron and/or donor base; educational programs that
appeal to underserved communities
and much more.
“Basically, we take each partner’s
key initiative(s), mobilize our production, artistic and marketing teams,
and provide a unique and memorable
experience that cannot be duplicated by another organization,” Pogue
said.
Despite an environment of dwindling corporate support for arts-related organizations, the Symphony is
one of the few organizations that has
been able to build its base of corporate and community support.
According to Pogue, “The Symphony has been able to break down
the old mindset that we are strictly
an elitist organization that appeals
only to classical music aficionados.
We have corporate partners with spe-
cific cause marketing objectives, and,
through our diverse offerings, we are
able to target each and every demographic imaginable within the San
Diego community.
“Music, particular live symphonic
performances, is so vital to our community at every level. With the loss of
music education in our school system,
our partnerships take on even more
importance in our quest to keep the

Investing in the Community
By Kristy Gregg
In business since 1981, San Diego National
Bank (SDNB) has established itself as one of the
region’s largest community banks. With $2.5 billion in assets, SDNB opened with a single branch
in Downtown San Diego on the premise of becoming a leader in community banking for the citizens
of San Diego. Since then, 21 branches have been
added throughout the county, with additional new
locations due to open in the next year in Mission
Hills, Poway, Santee and Temecula.
SDNB has built a great local team over the last
25 years. Many of the management and staff who
have progressed through the ranks are still here.
The local board of directors includes individuals
who have been instrumental in the growth and
progress of the San Diego region. They established
early on that community involvement by the SDNB
board, management and employees is a key component of the bank’s corporate mission.
Bank employees volunteer thousands of hours in
more than 200 organizations each year that provide
services for a variety of causes including financial literacy, the homeless, military, arts and culture and
numerous other social and economic programs.
Taking responsibility for the quality of life within a community is like opening a savings account.
It is an investment in the future and a smart way
to protect assets.
SDNB is proud to be able to give 3 percent of its
net profits each year to the diverse and important
philanthropic organizations that help make this
region a great place to live and do business.

Supporting the San Diego Community
By Zoe Hickey
For nearly a century, Roel Construction Company has been involved in community service
throughout San Diego. As the company has expanded over the years so has its philanthropy, such
that nearly all 350 Roel employees and their families are active in the neighborhoods in which they
live, work and play.
The company is truly grateful to have the opportunity to enhance and support the community by
delivering more than 90 years of construction expertise as well as through the unique talents and
compassionate hearts of individuals throughout the
company. At Roel, community service is the tangible
result of its motto, “Spirit of an American Family®.”
Roel recognizes that its success is only possible
in an environment where the company as a whole
cares for the communities its serves. The company
gives its time, talent and treasure to many causes
including social, charitable and civic causes. Roel’s
outreach extends beyond organized groups and
has been known to give to people who have fallen upon hard times and need help to get back on
track. It is for these reasons that Roel gives, and
more importantly to reassure all of the Roel “family” of employees that its existence is about more
than just profits.
Roel’s views on where to give of the three “Ts” is
one of the hardest choices the company faces. Clearly,
there are more worthy causes than there are available resources. Roel family members have decided
to focus their attention on organizations and causes
that personally touch an employee or a client, and
where they feel they can do the most good.
Roel encourages all of its employees to participate in community service, as community service
is one of 10 the ROEL Ideals™ and also supports
its Spirit of an American Family. As a reward, the
company gives each person that participates in a
community outreach effort a specially engraved,
pewter “Spirit” block. The goal is for employees
to take pride in building their collection of Spirit
blocks while helping support the needs of others
throughout the community.

Charity Begins at Home
By Kathy Kovacevich
Many people have a soft spot for their hometown, and Jack in the Box Inc. is no different. In
1951, the first-ever Jack in the Box restaurant
opened its drive-thru to hungry motorists on El
Cajon Blvd., near the SDSU campus. Fifty-six
years later, Jack in the Box has grown into one
of the nation’s largest and most successful hamburger chains with nearly 2,100 restaurants in 17
states. Though the company has locations stretc.
hing from Seattle to Charlotte, it remains deeply
rooted in the San Diego community through numerous philanthropic activities, particularly those
focused on the city’s youth.
“We want to see our restaurant communities
grow and thrive,” said Linda Lang, chairman and
CEO of Jack in the Box Inc. “Supporting the educational and mentoring needs of children is a great
way to give back to the community and invest in
its future.”
Through The Jack in the Box Foundation, the
company’s charitable entity, Jack in the Box has
partnered with several youth-focused organizations throughout the area, including Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of San Diego. Since 1998,
The Foundation has worked closely with BBBS in
launching unique mentoring programs throughout the county, including “Operation Bigs,” a program at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base that
matches primarily military mentors with “littles”
whose parents are serving overseas, and “Hermandad,” an initiative aimed at helping youth from the
area’s growing Latino community.
The Foundation also supports Monarch School,

which provides an accredited education to homeless and at-risk kids in Downtown San Diego, and
The Preuss School, a middle and high school on
the campus of UCSD that is dedicated to providing an intensive college prep education for motivated low-income students who will be the first in
their families to graduate from college. In addition
to providing scholarships to Preuss students, The
Foundation also sponsors a bus, dubbed “Jack’s
bus,” to transport them to and from school.
Though providing financial support to charities
and community programs is important,
Jack in the Box employees aren’t afraid to roll
up their sleeves and volunteer in the community.
For several years, corporate office employees from
all levels of the organization have volunteered as
teachers for a day as part of Junior Achievement’s
“Free Enterprise Day,” during which employees

teach elementary school students about money
and banking, taxes and economics. Jack in the Box
is also partnering with Junior Achievement on JA
BizTown, a small-scale San Diego city complete
with shops modeled after real businesses, including a Jack in the Box restaurant. The goal of the
concept is to teach students about free enterprise
and commerce.
“San Diego is more than the location of our corporate office, it’s where Jack in the Box employees
and our guests work and live,” Lang said. “That’s
why we encourage our employees to get out, volunteer and make a difference.”

Corporate Volunteers Integral to Success at Nonprofit Organization
By Karny Stefan
Established 30 years ago, Walden Family Services has become a recognized leader in providing treatment-level foster care to children in need
throughout Southern California.
Specifically, Walden provides hope and help to
physically abused, medically fragile children (suffering from diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, HIV), sexually abused, neglected, developmentally disabled
and autistic foster children. Licensed by the State
of California, Walden currently serves more than
340 foster children in more than 250 foster homes.
The mission of Walden Family Services is to
support the lives of children and families through
lasting relationships. To accomplish this, Walden
operates as a partnership between Walden Family Services, Inc. and the Walden Family Services
Foundation. The foundation raises funds to fill the
critical gap between limited government reimbursements and the actual support necessary to
achieve promising futures for children. With abuse
and poverty rising at an alarming rate, developing
a modicum of success for these fragile children is
one step toward Fostering Promising Futures.
Governing a nonprofit agency with four re-
gional offices serving seven counties in Southern
California requires a highly-committed board of
directors. Thankfully, local and regional companies
offer the time and talents of one of their greatest
assets, their employees. These stalwart volunteers
serve on both Walden’s governance and foundation
boards, providing expertise in financial management, quality assurance, legal oversight, marketing, public relations and fund raising.
On behalf of the children and youth served by
Walden, it extends gratitude to the following companies and firms whose dedicated employees volunteer to serve on Walden’s boards of directors:
A-Life Medical Inc., Barney & Barney LLC, cFour
Partners Worldwide, Cox Communications, Driver Alliant Insurance, Estrada Communications
Group, Law Offices of Judith A. Litzenberger, Mail
Boxes Etc.., Inc./The UPS Store, McKenna Long &
Aldridge, Qualcomm Inc., Priority 1 Properties and
The Worth Collection.
”The true reward for supporting Walden Family
Services is knowing that while you’re helping to
foster a promising future for these deserving children, you’re also helping to create a better society
and community for all of us,” said board Chairman
Hal Dunning of Barney & Barney LLC. “The talent and commitment these volunteers bring to the
agency is priceless, but it pales in comparison to
the profound love our foster families provide these
children on a daily basis. Without them, these children would have no place to call home.”
As more and more children enter the foster care
system, foster family agencies are faced with the
daunting task of placing these abused, abandoned
and neglected children in safe and stable homes.
The need for corporate commitment (both financial
and expertise) will continue to grow. Thanks to the
generosity of Walden’s corporate partners, these
children will get the services they need to become
contributing members of society, perhaps even employees of some of these amazing companies.

Services. Karny Stefan is the CEO of Walden Family Services. For more information, please contact
Heather Schroeder at [email protected] or

patient advocacy, life science education and community
support. Amylin’s activities focus on key areas that utilize its expertise and technology. These include diabetes and obesity awareness, educational initiatives that
support students interested in careers in life sciences
and events that promote a healthy lifestyle.
Amylin has key partnerships with the American

the community in support of local programs for children.
The company partnered with the Salvation Army and
Joan Kroc Center in their inaugural “Tour de Kroc,” a 24hour exercise-a-thon supporting scholarships promoting
a healthier lifestyle opportunity for children in need.
From a business standpoint, Amylin supports
programs that center on science and math as the
students of today will be the work force of tomorrow. This is critical to the company’s competitiveness as an organization and important for San
Diego’s growing biotech industry.

community programs helps Amylin to attract and retain
passionate people who want to make a difference. Its philanthropic efforts have translated to high employee satisfaction and performance that exceeds industry benchmarks.
Amylin was named one of San Diego’s “Top 5 Best Companies to Work For in 2006” by San Diego Magazine as well
as one of the nation’s top 10 companies for scientists.
In 2007, Amylin is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a biotechnology company and is convinced
that its philanthropy benefits employees, the biotech industry and the San Diego area. Community
partnerships are an important part of Amylin’s efforts to challenge science and change lives.

Becoming a Partner in Art Plays Key Role in Culture Growth
By Sarah Beckman
Opened in 1926, the San Diego Museum of Art
is San Diego’s largest and most visited art museum. Corporate support for special exhibitions and
educational programming is a cornerstone of the
long-term success of SDMA. This funding allows
the Museum to provide a diverse program of exhibitions and educational programs to more than
400,000 visitors annually.
Local corporate leaders such as Sempra Energy
and Qualcomm are active in their support of family
and youth education. Their generosity allows the Museum to engage more than 70,000 people through educational programs. National companies such as RBC
Dain Rauscher help SDMA to present exciting shows
like Annie Leibovitz and Andy Warhol. Support like
this connects people to art and art to people.
San Diego’s business community plays a key
role in the vital contributions that SDMA makes
to the culture growth of the region. The world-class
exhibitions and programs offered by the Museum
provide an exceptional marketing opportunity for
large corporations and small businesses.

Celebrating the Spirit of Community Giving
Submitted by Barona
As the proud owner of the Barona Valley Ranch
Resort & Casino and one of San Diego County’s
largest employers, the Barona Band of Mission Indians takes a great deal of pride in sharing with,
and positively impacting, the San Diego region.
In addition to supporting programs for the tribal
community, Barona is active in hundreds of local
charities.
Barona’s long tradition of sharing is inherent
in the Tribe’s culture and a core value embodied
at Barona Valley Ranch Resort & Casino. In 2006,
the Barona Tribe and gaming resort contributed
more than $2.5 million to 600 charities in San Diego County. Barona’s contributions have benefited
organizations and causes that support senior citizen programs, at-risk youth, fire safety, education,
healthcare, medical research assistance and the
environment.
“Our Tribe has worked so hard to enhance lives
throughout all of San Diego,” said Rhonda WelchScalco, chairman of the Barona Band of Mission
Indians. “Barona has always helped the greater
community. Our contribution to the San Diego
Symphony years ago was one of the first local donations by a gaming tribe, and we continue that
spirit of sharing today.”
At Barona, corporate citizenship is a multifaceted process of community involvement, relationship-building, charitable contributions, volunteerism and partnerships. Barona seeks to support
innovative and life-enriching programs that are
closely aligned with its core values, which include
enhancing education, protecting the environment
and improving community wellness.
Recently, Barona signed on as the title sponsor
of Cirque de l’Art, the major annual fund raiser for
the Foundation for Women. The goal of this organization is to help nurture, educate and support
thousands of women and their families in San Diego and across the globe. The event raised nearly
$80,000 which will help fund the organization’s
microcredit programs.
“I bow down to Barona for their generous support,” said Deborah Lindholm, executive director of
the Foundation for Women. “This is the first time
in our history that we have had a major underwriting sponsor. Yet, Barona’s commitment was even
bigger than writing a check. They believed in our
work so passionately that they have become a true
partner in sharing our mission with the local community and the world.”
Recognizing the services that Sharp Grossmont Hospital provides to residents in East
County, the Barona Band of Mission Indians
contributed $1 million to support the hospital’s
Cardiac and Endovascular Services. The donation, made in memory of the Tribe’s beloved Vice
Chairman Donald “Tiny” LaChappa, was memorialized with a mural and bust honoring the
Tribal Leader. This memorial now stands in the
ICU atrium in the hospital’s new emergency and
critical care center.
Barona is dedicated to creating strong educational opportunities, in 2006, it launched the
Barona Education Grant Program. The program
is the first of its kind in California created and
administered by an Indian Tribe, and to date has
awarded more than $200,000 to 42 schools statewide. Through the endorsement of elected state
representatives, California schools can apply for
a $5,000 grant to purchase much-needed supplies
that promote academic improvement, including
books and computers.
Supporting local schools is also a priority for
Barona. Last fall, the Barona Tribe, County Supervisor Dianne Jacob and the Lakeside Community Planning Group, through the Parkland
Dedication Ordinance Funds, donated a combined $500,000 for an all-weather running track
around Wendell Cutting Field at El Capitan High
School. The new track marks the final phase in
a $1 million renovation of the school’s outdated
athletic facility.
“Barona is passionate about education which
we believe is the foundation for our future,” said
Welch-Scalco. “Education and learning don’t stop
in the classroom. Involvement in sports helps youth
build self-esteem and teaches the importance of
teamwork. Barona believes in sharing with the
community – it is an important part of our culture
and tradition. As long as we have the resources and
manpower, our spirit of giving will continue.”

Business Trips Made Quick and Easy

Chartering recently has become a smart alternative for businesspeople on the fly. A growing
number of savvy executives have discovered the
convenience and time-saving value of using air
charter for their business trips instead of battling
the hassles inherent with commercial flights.
Commercial airlines continue to gouge firstclass passengers with exceptionally high fares
for exceptionally poor schedules and services. But
charter flights offer passengers ease-of-use, along
with luxuries that are impossible for commercial
flights to compete with, like allowing business
travelers to work on presentations during flight or
the privacy to hold a meeting mid-air. After taking
into account the level of employee satisfaction and
efficiency of charter travel, many businesses have
been figuring out that charter service just makes
better sense.
Changes in airport security, along with the
stresses associated with travel, also have opened
the possibility of chartering planes to busy executives. For many companies, the hassles of traveling
commercial - airport crowds, delays, security issues,
etc.. - have grown unbearable, and end up costing
the company in the form of lost productivity. With
air charter, executives can drive up to the plane,
hand over their baggage and board within minutes,
leaving behind the typical airport hassles.
The ability to make multiple stops is another
reason companies turn to private charter. Busy executives can reach three or four cities in just one
day, and in most cases, arrive back to home base
in time for dinner. Charter companies also can arrange for conference rooms at the airport, providing even more efficiency. Additionally, private airplanes allow access to hard-to-reach destinations.
Commercial airlines use around 1,500 airports
across the country, while private planes have access to almost 5,000 airports.
Schubach Aviation, San Diego’s premiere on-demand private charter aircraft carrier, has worked
with a number of San Diego executives since 1992,
flying them to various locations across the country
and beyond. Founded by Henry Schubach, Schubach Aviation operates and maintains its own fleet
of 16 aircraft, employing a staff of 42 maintenance
workers, pilots and scheduling staff.
Still looking for additional reasons to choose
charter? Following are some priceless privileges
that go along with private travel.
Luxury Accommodations
Pleasant in-flight services and luxurious accommodations come standard at Schubach Aviation.
The charter company’s wide-bodied Challenger
embraces this indulgence. The custom-designed
aircraft features a stand-up cabin that provides
plenty of room to walk around easily, making long
trips comfortable and relaxing. Seating up to nine
passengers, two crewmembers and a cabin attendant, the Challenger features a fully refurbished,
plush interior, and cruises at a speed of 530 miles
per hour at an altitude of 41,000 feet.
Other in-cabin amenities include a full galley,
private restroom, CD player and a flight phone.
The cabin also offers DVD players with individual
monitors for each passenger, plus two large flat
screen monitors for use with presentations.
The mid-size business jet, Hawker 800, can make
it nonstop from San Diego to New York or Miami
with plenty of headroom to relax the entire way. A
VIP cabin layout provides seating for eight passengers with four club seats at the front of the cabin,
a three-seat settee, and a single seat at the rear of
the cabin. This plane has a fully enclosed lavatory
and an aft facing galley. This aircraft comes with
air show, an entertainment system that includes
a DVD & CD player and a fully stocked bar and
refreshment center.
Lear jets, although smaller than the Hawker
and Challenger, offer similar opulence. Seating up
to seven passengers and two crewmembers, the
Learjet 55 cruises at a speed of 530 miles per hour
at an altitude of 41,000 feet. In-cabin amenities include a refreshment center, VCR/DVD/CD player,
flight phone and private restroom.
The Citation (CJ I) boasts an interior that is a
marvel of intelligent styling, craftsmanship and
highly efficient use of space. From the cabin overhead design to details such as cabinetry, window
shades and seats, the CJ1 interior will rival that
of aircraft costing many times more. The CJ I has
ample seating for up to six adults and is ideal for
short-range trips such as Las Vegas, San Francisco
and Baja. While enjoying this brand new aircraft,
passengers can relax and indulge in a state-of-theart entertainment system, air show and an abundantly stocked refreshment center.
Attentive Staff
The charter company’s attentive staff is another perk of private charter. Travel itineraries can be
handled by the charter company, easing stress on
passengers. The staff also can assist the traveler
in selecting the right aircraft. Unless passengers
have a specific preference, it’s best to let the operator with the charter company recommend the
aircraft that will best suit passenger needs.
The selected charter company will help travelers
plan an itinerary and vacation that is most cost-effective. The costs for chartering a flight are dependent upon the specific travel situation. Turbo-prop
aircraft such as King Airs usually fall within the
range of $1,095 to $1,450 per flight hour and only
require an hour and half of minimum flight time.
Jet aircraft – Challengers, Hawkers, Lears and
Citaitons – typically range from $1,395 to $2,850
per flight hour and the Challenger runs at about
$3,800 per flight hour.
The costs cover the flight, in flight services,
itinerary assistance and arrangements for ground
transportation. Everything can be coordinated
through one company, thus providing a more seamless travel experience. When flying commercial,
even in first-class accommodations, the services
are not as focused on the individual customer.
Security Measures
The perks continue with security measures.
Because private charter involves a substantially
reduced passenger count and a more controlled
environment, there are virtually no security lines
or delays. Travelers are allowed some latitude in
what items they may bring on board.
With just one phone call, Schubach Aviation can
arrange every detail of a business or leisure trip,
ensuring it is comfortable and hassle-free.

’07 Edition of Structures Offers Examples of Building Activity,
Plus Lists From Commercial, Residential Real Estate Sectors
Welcome to the 2007 edition of
Structures, our annual spring publication that provides an in-depth look
at some of the new buildings, highways and other structures erected in the
past year or so.
We in the editorial department
at the Business
Journal are confident that our
readers will find
this special presentation worthy
THOMAS YORK of a closer look.
This was a
group effort on the part of the editorial staff, including our awardwinning group of reporters.
These are the journalists who cover San Diego County week to week,
and know the commercial and residential real estate topography inside out.
I would particularly like to thank
individual members of the editorial department for their contributions to this publication.
Assistant Managing Editor Julie Gallant deserves a hearty round
of applause, for she was responsi-
1
ble for Structures. She handled most
of the story assigning, editing and
proofing of these pages, a herculean effort given her responsibilities for other sections of the paper.
Page Designer Michael S. Domine and
Paginator Marta Klass in the production department deserve kudos, too.
Michael designed the front cover, paying homage to Liberty Station, the mega-project of the
Corky McMillin Cos., which involved the renovation of an abandoned Navy training facility.
The successful redevelopment effort has brought a surge
of renewed interest in the Point
Loma and Midway neighborhoods of America’s Finest City.
Michael was also responsible for
some of the photographs contained inside Structures, as well as the photographs that grace the front cover.
Marta was responsible for the pagination of the interior pages of Structures.
And, of course, thumbs up to
the sales staff for making this special publication possible.
In addition to our coverage of se-
lected projects, Structures contains a
bounty of lists ranging from top architectural firms to largest residential builders to largest homebuilders.
Our senior researcher, Liz Wiedemann,
along with assistant Jaimy Lee, assembled the dozen lists that comprise
half the editorial pages in Structures.
The Business Journal is known
far and wide for its industry specific lists, which readers report
they find invaluable in the day-today running of their businesses.
No other local publication offers
such a wealth of information for those
in the local business community.
Indeed, for readers who toil in
commercial and residential real estate, or those who just want to know
more about some of the more prominent projects in this economic sector, Structures should prove valuable for future reference.
Let us know what you think.
If you have comments, or suggestions, feel free to drop me

Poseidon Resources Corp. is seeking approval to build the largest seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere.
Largest Desalination Plant in the West on Track for Carlsbad
Ocean Would Be Drought-Proof Resource for 50M Gallons Daily of Fresh Drinking Water
BY MICHELLE MOWAD
San Diego County may soon have a
drought-resistant water supply.
Poseidon Resources Corp., a Stamford,
Conn.-based developer of seawater desalination plants, with offices in San Diego,
is working to develop the largest seawater desalination plant in the Western
Hemisphere in North County.
Poseidon has been working with the
city of Carlsbad since 1998 on a publicprivate partnership to construct a 50-million-gallon-per-day desalination plant at
the site of the Encina Power Station adjacent to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
This is enough drinking water to serve
300,000 residents annually.
Scott Maloni, spokesman for Poseidon
Resources, said a desalination plant can
help offset the county’s dependency on
imported water. Up to 90 percent of the
region’s water is imported from the Colorado River and Northern California.
“This is all based on demand,” said Maloni. “There is an enormous demand in
San Diego County for a local supply.”
And the Pacific Ocean is the ultimate
drought-proof local resource, he said. The
plant will provide Carlsbad with control of
drinking water that is not dependent on
rainfall or outside suppliers.
If all things are a go, construction on
the $270 million plant could commence
early next year and be complete as early as 2009.
Poseidon has garnered support from
the city, built a pilot plant for operational and environmental effects testing, conducted environmental impact studies, selected the design/build team and signed
several sales agreements with local water
authorities. What is next is a little bit of
a waiting game.
Before construction can begin, Poseidon Resources must secure a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission and state Lands
Commission. The coastal commission permit application is on track to be included
as an agenda item on November’s meeting in San Diego.
Plans Flowing Along
Even without this necessary piece of
the puzzle, Poseidon is moving forward,
making its proposed vision a success.
Currently, Poseidon is running a fully
operational pilot plant on the site of the
proposed project. The pilot plant is 1/36scale of the planned facility and has been
producing 40,000 gallons of desalinated
water daily since 2003.
The plant is used to conduct studies
of potential impact to offshore reefs and
marine life when the salty residual left

over or byproduct water is discharged
back into the ocean.
Just last month, Poseidon announced
the internationally-renowned team it has
selected to design, engineer, construct
and commission the Carlsbad desalination project.
The team consists of Acciona Agua, an
international desalination company with
headquarters in Spain; American Water, a
Voorhees, N.J.-based water service-provider with utility operations serving Coronado, Imperial Beach and parts of Chula
Vista and San Diego; J.R. Filanc Construction Co. Inc. based in Escondido;
and PBS&J, a provider of infrastructure
planning, engineering, construction, architecture and program management services with offices in Encinitas and San Diego.

Repair work is still under way on the stage at the Balboa Theatre, which will reopen at downtown San Diego’s Horton Plaza in November after a $26 million renovation.
Historic Renovation Returns Downtown Theater to Roaring ’20s Glory
Long-Forgotten Building Opening to Audiences This Year After $26M Makeover
BY JAIMY LEE
No one is quite sure why two waterfalls
flank the stage at the old Balboa Theatre
downtown. Maybe it was a way to keep
the audience cool during the vaudeville
acts of the late 1920s.
But it’s more likely that the seemingly innovative idea turned out to be more
trouble than it was worth and the Balboa may be the only theater in the United States to boast a pair of waterfalls on
either side of its 41-foot-wide proscenium.
After extensive renovation, the theater is scheduled to open with renewed
splendor in November as a venue for music, dance, film, theater or formal gatherings.
Waterfalls included, the estimated $26
million renovation of the theater, located
at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and
E Street, has been literally years in the
making. The theater was scheduled for demolition in 1959 and has been dark since
the mid-’80s when the Centre City Development Corp., which oversees downtown
redevelopment, acquired the theater.
The budget includes “hard and soft”
costs for the five construction phases —
demolition and abatement, seismic ret-
rofit, renovation, chandelier refurbishment, and marquee renovation, according
to Gary Bosse, senior project manager for
the CCDC.
Although CCDC considered finding outside interests to privately renovate, the
theater will remain a public asset; the
project was funded with tax increment financing, he added.
For years, efforts to restore the historic theater, which is listed in the National
Register of Historic Places, fell short until the CCDC board of directors authorized
the renovation of the 46,000-square-foot
building in October 2002.
Because the building was built in
1924, a seismic retrofit was needed along
with renovation of the theater’s plumbing, electricity, heating, air conditioning
and lighting, according to Robert Mather,
project director from the Phoenix-based
architecture firm Westlake Reed Leskosky.
In 2003, the CCDC hired the architecture firm, which has completed 200 commissions for historic renovations in the
past five years.
“It’s one of the more special projects
I’ve worked on,” Mather said. “It’s just really beautiful, in my opinion.”
Whittling Away
With the intent of returning the theater to a bit of its 1920s heyday condition, renovation involved stripping away
layers of its other decades. When the
white paint that coated the building was
removed, the work crew realized that the
original color of the theater is a salmoncolored hue.
Original photo negatives borrowed from
the San Diego Historical Society were the
backbone of the renovation, providing architects and designers with a glimpse of
what the theater used to look like. For
the corners and curtains that weren’t
clearly photographed, technology filled
the gap.
To reconstruct the appearance of the
original curtain, a negative with the original image was scanned into a computer
and an ink jet-like printer “printed” the
image onto a plain curtain, Bosse said.
The computer was even able to make adjustments for the folds of the cloth.
The restoration is running about $500
per square foot, including unexpected
restorations needed for murals, chandeliers, the marquee and an organ, Bosse
said.
The color scheme alone well represents

the Spanish Renaissance and Baroque designs. More than 22 colors make up the
Balboa’s palate and the theater itself is a
study of varnished golds, deep reds, and
bold green, pinks and oranges.

Convention Center Hilton Raises Downtown Room Count to 10K
Port District’s Incentives Include Huge Rent Discount, Parking Garage for Hotel
BY CONNIE LEWIS
Long on the drawing board as the
missing piece in the puzzle needed to
complete the lodging picture for hosting simultaneous large-scale events and
optimizing business at the San Diego
Convention Center, the 30-story Hilton
under construction on downtown’s waterfront is one of the few convention hotels in the country financed without a
municipal subsidy.
The 1,190-room, $348 million Hilton San Diego Convention Center Hotel
broke ground in December 2006. When
it’s completed in fall 2008, it will increase the number of rooms downtown
to 10,000. The 1,625-room Manchester
Grand Hyatt and the 1,362-room Marriott Hotel & Marina are the two largest
convention center hotels downtown.
“What this does is give us more
product (hotel rooms) to sell in association with future years’ business,” said
Steve Johnson , vice president of public affairs for the San Diego Convention
Center Corp., which operates and markets space at the 2.6 million-squarefoot facility. Since the large hotels
also boast an ample amount of meeting space, the bump in guest room inventory will make it easier for them
to accommodate both the convention
center’s needs and meet demands for
in-house meetings and events at the
same time, he added.
Karima Zaki, Hilton’s vice president of
hotel operations and new development
in San Diego, declined to be specific on
advance bookings, but indicated they
were good.
“We are exceptionally pleased,” Zaki
said. “We are ahead of all other market
places where new (Hilton) hotels are going up.”
The bay front Hilton was financed with
a $245 million construction loan from
San Diego National Bank and $100 million in equity capital from the hotel’s
owners, Beverly Hills-based Hilton Hotels Corp. and New York-based ING Clarion. Phelps Program Management of Aurora, Colo., is a co-developer of the project.

The Pacific Beacon project due to be completed at the Naval Base San Diego in 2009 will accommodate 2,000 bachelor sailors in a four-building complex.
Pacific Beacon to Provide Needed Affordable Housing to Sailors
Navy Partnering With Clark Realty on $322M, Four-Tower Project
BY MIKE ALLEN
Given the concentration of Navy personnel in San Diego, it’s fitting that the
Navy’s first-ever housing project dedicated to single sailors is under development
here.
Pacific Beacon, located at Naval
Base San Diego, formerly called the
32nd Street Naval Station, consists of
three, 18-story towers with 941 furnished apartments. It also encompasses the refurbishment of 258 apartments
at nearby Palmer Hall, for a total of
1,199 units.
The new housing is expected to accommodate 2,000 sailors, many of whom
are currently confined to living on board
their ships.
The issue that the Navy is addressing
is the lack of housing allowance for new
sailors, said Jerry Dunaway, the Navy’s
project leader on Pacific Beacon.
“Until they get to midgrade level,
which is E-4 or about four years, sailors
do not have housing allowance(s),” Dunaway said.
Yet, even for junior- and middle-grade
sailors, the allowance doesn’t go very far
in San Diego, one of the nation’s most
expensive housing markets.
One key reason the Navy selected San
Diego to build its first high-rise bachelor
quarters is that the area doesn’t offer affordable housing close to the base, Dunaway said.
The Navy was also well aware that one
of the highest quality of life issues by junior sailors is the lack of private quarters
while in homeport, said Bryan Lamb, development executive in the San Diego office
of Clark Realty Capital, the Navy’s private
partner in the Pacific Beacon project.
“The vast majority of sailors live on
board their ships even when they are in
port,” Lamb said. “The Navy has realized
that one of the biggest things that has
hurt their re-enlistment and recruitment
is this housing shortage.”
Continuing Collaboration
Including the Pacific Beacon units,
Clark Realty Capital will have developed
25,000 homes with the Navy and other
military services, the majority of which
are aimed at families. The other locations
are in Florida, Georgia, Maryland and Virginia.
Until the late 1990s, the military financed and built housing, but in 1996
Congress passed a law that permitted
partnerships with private developers to
build housing faster and cheaper, Lamb
said.
“The structure of the deal in which
the Navy is contributing the land eliminates between 20 to 30 percent of the
budget for a usual housing project,”
Lamb said.
The development cost for Pacific Beacon, including refurbishment of Palmer
Hall, is estimated at $322 million. Completion is targeted for June 2009.
One important aspect of the project
is the creation of living quarters that
include amenities found in newly developed condominium projects, such
as a sky terrace with a 25-meter outdoor lap pool, theater, game rooms, fitness rooms, lounges, mini-mart and dry
cleaners, as well as café with wireless
Internet access.
In addition, sailors will be able to purchase such services as satellite TV, highspeed Internet and maid service.
Outdoor amenities would take advantage of the great weather and include an
athletic field, running paths, basketball
courts, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits,
barbecue grilling areas, and an outdoor
living room.
The project will accommodate an asyet undetermined retail outlet that may
include a fast-food restaurant and other
services sailors need, Lamb said.
“They’ve designed the complex to contain every bit of the same quality that
they have in the private sector,” Lamb
said. “It has everything you can imagine
in a Class A condominium.”
Dunaway said the apartments will contain two bedrooms with private bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens and washers and dryers. Because the Navy now has
women sailors, the project will also be coed, but the individual apartments will be
assigned by same sex, he said.
“We’re thinking of separating the sexes
by floors,” Dunaway said.
Another aspect of the project expected to improve the Navy’s retention rates
is the inclusion of classroom space where
sailors would take classes, upgrading
skills through the Navy’s consortium of
colleges, the University of Phoenix, and
National University.

Among the amenities at Pacific Beacon is a resort-style swimming pool, three fitness
centers, spacious lounges, a coffee bar, classrooms and a theater.

Condo Dwellers Won’t Have to Leave Home to Work or
Drive a Car to Get Downtown
Mixed-Use Bluwater Crossing Proposed in Carlsbad Combines Lofts, Ground-Level Work Space
BY KATIE WEEKS
A condominium development proposed in Carlsbad will allow residents
there to drop off their children at day
care, grab a donut and hop a train for a
meeting without getting into a car.
Costa Mesa-based Trammell Crow Residential is marketing its $60 million
Bluwater Crossing project as the first
live/work development along a Coaster
commuter train stop in Carlsbad — and
perhaps in all of North County.
Bob LaFever, project manager, said
the firm will likely break ground within
a month near Avenida Encinas and Embarcadero Lane.
Once they receive the final nod
from the city of Carlsbad, Trammell
would construct 13 buildings to include 21,600 square feet of commercial space and a 3,600-square-foot
day-care center.
There will be 78 residential units in

New Tour Ride Brings Park Visitors Closer to Its Wild Animals
Journey Into Africa Replaces Longer Wgasa Railway That Included Exhibits of Asia
BY DARRYN BENNETT
Last March, the San Diego Wild Animal
Park shut down the 32-year-old Wgasa
Bush Line Railway and unveiled the new
Journey Into Africa tour in an effort to
offer park visitors more “up-close and
realistic encounters” with some of the
more than 400 species that inhabit the
park.
Visitors to the Wild Animal Park in
San Pasqual Valley, located near Escondido, take the tour aboard African Express vehicles. The tour departs from a
new boarding station near the lion exhibit and shuttles passengers through 213
acres of African-only animal exhibits,
showcasing the diversity of the secondlargest continent on Earth.
Redwood City-based Rudolph and
Sletten General Contractors Inc., which
has a regional office in San Diego, is
serving as the construction manager for
the $28.8 million project launched in
September 2005.
“It’s a unique project,” said Bob
Boyles, senior superintendent at Rudolph and Sletten’s San Diego office. “It’s not every project where you
are charged by rhinos and white-lipped
deer.”
The new tour, the park’s largest
project in its 35-year history, opened
March 14, but before its completion,
the general contractor constructed

abled the train ride to
operate in half of the
original tour.
Now in full operation, there are several differences between the new vehicles powered by
biodiesel, an alternative fuel produced
from soybean oil, and the retired Wgasa Bush Line Railway trains.
Unlike the Wgasa line trains that followed a 5-mile, 50-minute monorail
track route around the perimeter of the
park, the five African Express vehicles
carrying 104 passengers run on wheels
and follow a shorter 2.5-mile, 30-minute route along a concrete road bed
100 feet to 300 feet closer to the animal exhibits.
In fact, park officials said, the only
way to view the animals from a closer distance is to go on a photo caravan costing
$90 to $130 per person.
Park staff said they believe the closer
contact with the animals, especially the
large ones, such as cheetahs, lions, giraffes and rhinoceroses, improves the entertainment and education opportunities

Poway Unified Buffs Out $100M High School
With Tech, Energy Amenities
District Plans a Series of ‘Earth-Friendly’ Projects
BY JESSICA LONG
To prepare students for future advances, a North County school district
has embarked on building nothing less
than a next-generation training ground
rich in technology advances and energy-saving attributes.
The $100 million project, Del Norte
High School, expected to open in fall
2009, is under construction on a 62acre site in 4S Ranch. The masterplanned San Diego suburb sits just west
of Interstate 15 but falls under the jurisdiction of the Poway Unified School
District.
Working on such a large project is familiar territory for the district, which
has opened four new schools and rebuilt a fifth, all within the past five
years.
But unlike most projects, Del Norte is
among the first group of Poway schools
to be designed using guidelines from
the Collaborative for High Performance
Schools, or CHPS.
Poway Unified School District plans to open Del Norte High School in time for the 2009-2010 school year. The campus, as shown
in the rendering above, will serve the 4S Ranch community.
CHPS is education’s equivalent of the
U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
guidelines that pertain to high-performing, environmentally-friendly commercial
buildings.
“The CHPS guidelines have been very
effective in looking at how school construction and operation can be more
earth-friendly,” said Project Manager Ken
Miller, an employee of Poway Unified,

Also in 4S Ranch, not far from Del

which opened last fall.
Two more, Del Sur and Willow Grove elementaries, are under construction in a
developing area just south of 4S Ranch

Navy Personnel Have Better Than Bird’s-Eye View in Control Tower
NAS North Island Structure Improves Upon Visibility and Training Capabilities
BY ANDY KILLION
According to U.S. Navy Chief Dennis Guivara, the best view in San Diego
isn’t from the top of Mount Soledad. It’s
from the top of the new 150-foot-tall
control tower at the Naval Air Station
North Island in Coronado.
“I can see everything, 360 degrees,”
said Guivara, such as “Point Loma, the
(Pacific) ocean, the Coronado Islands
on a clear day and, of course, all of
downtown and Shelter Island. You can
see all the fireworks from here.”
The previous control tower at the
base was not the best structure for
managing air traffic operations, Guivara
said, and there was no such panorama
to be enjoyed.
“We had a lot of dead spots and blind
spots in our vision (in the old tower),”
said Guivara. “There were landing areas
that weren’t even visible. It’s so much
more manageable now.”
But it’s not all sunsets and fireworks
for personnel inside the tower, overseeing between 7,000 and 8,000 aircraft
operations monthly and monitoring numerous ground vehicles at all times,
not to mention the constant training of
new air traffic controllers.
“In our job, we’re always training people and that was one major issue (with the old tower),” Guivara
said. “The space inside (the old tower)
wasn’t conducive to training every person at the same time. Here, you don’t
have that obstacle; we can train all of
our people in one spot with no hesitation.
“It’s a great facility for training
youngsters,” he added. “The Navy really equipped us to do our job.”
$24M Contract
The San Diego arm of Kansas City,
Mo., contractor Burns & McDonnell Inc.
was awarded the $24.2 million contract to design and construct the tower,
build a cargo plane maintenance hangar and renovate taxiways on Dec. 30,
2005, according to the U.S. Department
of Defense Web site.
Guivara said that work on the taxiway
and tower cost a total of $11.5 million
and was completed and staffed by February 2006.
Naval Facilities Engineering Command,
Southwest Division awarded the contract.
Ross Pritchard, associate vice president
and San Diego office manager at Burns &
McDonnell, said the firm did a “shadow
study” with the Navy before building the
tower, to demonstrate visibility from the
tower.
“You load the information into a
computer model, such as height and location,” said Pritchard. “Then, you consider all the surrounding buildings. It
basically finds lines of sight — minimizes the blind spots for the air traffic
controllers.”
The tower also required special military considerations, such as blast resistance, or “force protection,” said
Pritchard.
Local subcontractors Diamond Lane
Contractors of San Marcos handled
civil contracting work and Brady Co.
of La Mesa did interior finishes on the
tower.

gives controllers clear views of approaching aircraft as well as a good look at the
downtown San Diego skyline.
Radar Infrastructure Retained
According to Pritchard, the original 90-foot-tall air traffic control tower was demolished down to a height
of 25 feet and fitted with a new roof,
leaving its radar infrastructure intact
and connecting it to the new control
tower.

South Bay Expressway Gears Up for Summer Opening
Toll Road Designed to Speed Travel Near the Border Crossing
BY LIZ WIEDEMANN
All roads may lead to Rome, but some
sure are faster to travel than others.
The nearly completed South Bay Expressway, a 10-mile toll road that will
run from state Route 54 in Spring Valley
to state Route 905 near the U.S.-Mexico
Otay Mesa border crossing, might be the
alternative that Interstate 805 commuters have been seeking.
A project penciled in on the map since
1959, the toll road has been made possible through a public-private partnership between the state of California and
California Transportation Ventures Inc.,
the sole general partner of San Diego Expressway Ltd. Partnership.
The expressway entails a southern extension of the state Route 125 corridor,
which is costing $635 million to construct.
“Public funds have never been available to build the road, so we’re investing the private capital, and then we enter
into a 35-year lease with the state,” said
Chief Executive Officer Greg Hulsizer.
During a period of 35 years, private investors will charge tolls to repay project costs and pay what they hope to be
a reasonable return on investment before turning the road over to the state in
2042, Hulsizer said.
The toll road will benefit most everyone, and it’s designed to be the “road for
everybody,” said Hulsizer.
Once open, the expressway will reduce
the drive time from state Route 54 to
Otay Mesa to 10 minutes from 30 minutes on average, according to marketing
research.
Drivers can bypass the attendant by

speeds at a discount.
Promoting Passes
Joaquin Luken, the expressway’s business development representative, has
been working to promote FasTrak memberships for commuters in Otay Mesa, industrial Chula Vista and new warehouse
districts in the region.
“FasTrak is economical for even onetime users because you put money on it
and use it like a debit card,” said Luken.
“There is no minimal usage requirement
or expiration date.”
Hulsizer said the new route offers economic development opportunities while
catering to existing retail hubs such as
Otay Ranch Town Center.
“We’ve created thousands of construction jobs, put money into the economy
through workers’ housing and construction fees, and for years to come we’ll
have a continuance of home building in
the EastLake, Otay Ranch areas,” said
Hulsizer.
The road will also serve families attending two schools in Chula Vista — the
new Mater Dei High School, set to open
this fall, as well as Olympian High School,
which opened this year.
“Our project is so well-supported by
the city of Chula Vista’s well-planned infrastructure, and that support is very
symbiotic,” said Luken.
For instance, Craig Ruiz, principal community development specialist for the Chula Vista community development department, said the Otay Ranch Town Center is
counting on the road bringing in customers almost immediately.

Liberty Station Wins Top Honors at
Local Engineering Awards Ceremony
Annual Event Recognized County’s
Construction Achievements of 2006
The American Society of Civil Engineers
San Diego Section hosted its 17th annual
awards dinner May 12 honoring the county’s top engineering projects of 2006.
Liberty Station in Point Loma captured Project of the Year honors for RBF
Consulting, which has 14 Western offices, including ones in Carlsbad and San
Diego.
Outstanding project awards were given to Simon Wong Engineering for the
Agua Hedionda Lagoon Railroad Replacement Bridge between Oceanside and San
Diego and East/West Olympic Parkway
Pedestrian Bridges in Otay Ranch; T.Y.
Lin International’s San Diego office for
the Camino del Sur Bridge over Lusardi Creek; the city of San Diego for Lisbon Street roadway and utility improvements; San Francisco-based URS Corp.
for Mira Sorrento Place roadway improvements; Black & Veatch Corp.’s San
Diego office for the Rancho Penasquitos
pressure control and hydroelectric facility; and Kimley-Horn & Associates’ San
Diego office for resurfacing a runway at
Lindbergh Field.
An additional 13 projects received
awards of excellence, awards of merit or
honorable mentions. Awards were presented at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel
& Marina to the following recipients:
Project Of The Year
Liberty Station – RBF Consulting: The
city of San Diego and the Corky McMillin
Cos. partnered to transform the 361-acre
Naval Training Center into a mixed-use
waterfront community renamed Liberty Station. Demolition, rehabilitation,
preservation and new construction required ingenuity on a number of technical issues and constraints involving life
safety, soil liquefaction, drainage and
historic resources.
The NTC Historic District, made up
of 52 buildings, will be adaptively reused, and the waterfront will be open
to the public for the first time in more
than 80 years. The $850 million project is expected to create 8,000 permanent jobs, and is one of the most successful military base re-use projects in
the country.
Outstanding Projects
• Agua Hedionda Lagoon Railroad Replacement Bridge — Simon Wong Engineering: Trains can now run at full speed
on a new bridge that contains the longest
concrete span in use on the North County Transit District’s coastal railroad line
from Oceanside to San Diego. The main
span clears the channel mouth, minimizing impacts to sensitive wetlands.
• Camino del Sur Bridge over Lusardi Creek — T.Y. Lin International: The
main span of this 728-foot-long bridge
over Lusardi Creek Canyon and the San
Diego Aqueduct is the longest of its type
ever constructed in San Diego County.
The three-span configuration combined
with an arched superstructure gives the
bridge a graceful appearance with cleanflowing lines.
• East/West Olympic Parkway Pedestrian Bridges — Simon Wong Engineering: Thanks to these two pedestrian bridges, crossing the busy, six-lane
Olympic Parkway is now easier and safer for bicyclists, hikers and students at
Otay Ranch High School. The bridges
offer unique views of wetlands and natural slopes.
• Improved Runway Safety Area (Engineered Material Arresting System) — Edwards & Kelcey Inc.: The overrun area at
San Diego’s land-constrained airport is
shorter than the Federal Aviation Administration’s standard of 1,000 feet beyond
the end of the runway. Thus, innovative
approaches were needed to improve the
system that decelerates and safely stops
aircraft in danger of traveling beyond airport limits. A new localizer also increased
the dependability of the guidance signal
for pilots.
• Lisbon Street Roadway & Utility Improvements — City of San Diego: Many
public improvements were lacking along
Lisbon Street, including sidewalks, gutters and well-defined transit stops. An innovative, three-lane design increased capacity but minimized right-of-way needs.
Electric, phone and cable utilities were
placed underground simultaneously in
the same city-managed construction contract.
• Mira Sorrento Place Roadway Improvement — URS Corp.: Sandwiched
between existing developments, utility easements and high-velocity drainage channels, Mira Sorrento Place was
designed to close a critical gap in traffic
circulation. Drivers can now access Interstate 805 without crossing Mira Mesa
Boulevard, which reduces travel time
and congestion.
• Rancho Penasquitos Pressure Control
and Hydroelectric Facility — Black & Veatch Corp.: Not simply a water diversion
system, this facility also generates 4.5
megawatts of electricity, which is equivalent to the demand of 5,000 homes. The
hydroelectric turbine has zero emissions
and generates up to $1.6 million annually in power sales from a completely renewable energy source.
• Resurface Runway 9-27 & Taxiway B
— Kimley-Horn & Associates: San Diego
International Airport is the busiest single-runway commercial-service airport
in the country. The paving work done at
the airport was constructed in five-hour
increments at night to avoid interference with operations. Product innovations included a new asphalt concrete
mix design to improve durability.

water purchase agreements with local
water agencies, including the Carlsbad
Municipal Water District.
May 28, 2007
Dennis Bostad, general manager with
the Sweetwater Water Authority, said the
purchase agreement with Poseidon will
An additional handful of San Diego
County public water agencies are in negotiations to contract the plant’s remaining capacity.
“They are going to have the water fully subscribed to public water agencies in
the next two to three months,” said Maloni.
The plant will use a reverse osmosis water treatment technology manufactured
in San Diego. Maloni said modern reverse
osmosis technology used in desalination
was born out of San Diego’s General Atomics technology developed in the 1960s.
He also reported that San Diego County is
now home to more than 35 desalinationrelated companies employing 2,200 people and generating more than $200 million in annual revenues.
He said beyond dollars and cents of
economic value, the expressway will
bring a better quality of life to people
who use it.
“People working in Otay Mesa without many choices of restaurants or retail
stores will benefit from the business that
the road will help infuse into South Coun-
ty as well as the efficiency with which
they can obtain it,” Ruiz said.
A significant milestone was completing the bridge across the Otay River in
March, the cost of which was included in
the $635 million budget.
“Our next turning point will be the
opening of our customer-service center
and signing up our customers for FasTrak accounts by late July,” said Hulsizer.
Mindful of efficiency, Hulsizer said the
company will push potential FasTrak account holders to “act now and beat the
rush,” to avoid waiting in line with everyone else.
Theater:
to foundation President Kay Porter. The
group has raised $650,000 for the organ.
1,360 seats, Bosse said.
The theater originally had 1,534 seats
— in the year that Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa discovered San Diego
— but after the rows have been widened
and broader seats are added to fit current standards, the theater will now have
the shops of Horton Plaza on three sides.
“There was no place to grow, no place
to expand,” Mather said. “It was completely self-contained.”
A long-term goal of the Balboa’s renovation, Bosse added, is to create a theater
district that winds from Balboa Theatre to
the nearby Spreckels and Lyceum theaters.
Plant:
Poseidon President Walter J. Winrow
said these companies have unparalleled
water infrastructure capabilities globally,
in California and in San Diego.
“Collectively, we believe we have assembled the best team to build one of
California’s most important water infrastructure projects in decades,” he said
during the announcement.
And more than 65 percent of plant capacity is already subscribed to through
Road:
“The EastLake Design Center and other
commercial properties are also looking to
the opening of the new 125, and so are
cross-border commuters who are in need
of traveling options,” said Ruiz.
The Balboa Theatre Foundation, an
advocacy group for the theater which
launched in the mid-’80s, is funding the
purchase, restoration and installation of
a rare Wonder Morton Organ, according
The remaining water is quickly being
reserved by other county water districts.
Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District in Escondido, Sweetwater Water Authority in South Bay, and the Valley Center Municipal Water District have also
signed purchase agreements.
Steady Supply
diversify its water supply and increase its
drought-resistant supply.
“The goal is diversification for reliability,” said Bostad.
He said Sweetwater was interested in
entering into a purchase agreement because the plant will offer a natural, reliable flow of water at an equivalent cost
of what it would cost to buy water from
the county water authority.
The addition of bathrooms along with
walkways and staircases compliant with
Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines proved another challenge.
Although some projects have the luxury of
building outwards, the theater was landlocked by Fourth Avenue on one side and

users of the facility and coordinate

it down to about the third floor.”

Military personnel oversee between 7,000 and 8,000 aircraft operations monthly in
the air traffic control tower at the Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado.
LaFever said the work spaces on the
bottom level of Bluwater have garage
doors that roll up to allow owners to enjoy the ocean breeze.
“The development is steps from the
beach,” LaFever said. “The roll-up door
gives a pedestrian friendly, active feel
to the area and provides exposure for
your business.”
Mike Howes of Carlsbad-based Howes,
Weiler & Associates has been consulting for Trammell on the Bluwater project
for two years.
Howes said live/work units, where the
residential units are above the workspace
or shop, are having a resurgence across
the country.
“It’s basically going back to something
you saw in small towns in early America,”
Howes said. “They are more popular back
East or in older cities.”
Downtown San Diego has a handful
of such developments, including the recently completed, 300-unit “Smart Cor-
gible for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the
U.S. Green Building Council, which sets
standards for environmentally sustainable construction. The structure must
meet requirements in the categories of
sustainable site planning; water efficiency and safeguards; energy efficiency
and renewable energy use; conservation
of materials and resources; and indoor
environmental quality.
ner” project in the East Village bordered
by Eleventh Avenue, Park Boulevard, C
Street and Broadway. That project includes retail and office, and is near a
trolley stop.
Trammell will begin selling units at
Bluwater this summer. LaFever said
there’s already retail in the area, as
well as a grocery store within walking
distance, car dealerships and a shopping center.
“It will be a vibrant project,” LaFever
said. “Very walkable and livable and will
really activate that area.”
Howes said Bluwater’s design reflects
the antithesis of California congestion.
“It kind of gets you away from the
typical California lifestyle where you
need a car,” Howes said. “It gives you
that freedom to have a decent-sized
office downstairs instead of in a back
bedroom.”
Other developments built by Trammell
Crow Residential include Alexan CityPlace in Pasadena, Alexan Sevilla in Chula Vista, and Savoy in downtown Los
Angeles.

School:
and west of Rancho Penasquitos. The two
CHPS-inspired schools are set to open in
fall 2008.
“There are financial incentives from the
state (to use CHPS),” Miller said. “However,
those incentives are just part of the equation. It is the desire of the school district
design team working with the board of education and administration to use the construction dollars effectively. That includes
providing energy-efficient schools.”
Let There Be Light
Project architect and designer Buddy
Gessel of NTDStichler Architecture San
Diego said solar lighting touches have
been one of the most interesting CHPS-
Tour:
for park visitors.
There is one drawback, though.
Unlike the old monorail tour, which
traveled through both African and Asian
exhibits, the new tour is limited to African animal enclosures.
“Going in and out of Africa was a bit
confusing,” said Michael Ahlering, director of park operations. “We decided to
make the new tour an exclusively African tour since that is really what we’re
known for.”
A camouflaged wall barrier that resembles mud banks and rocks separates the
Asian open-range enclosure from the African Express tour exhibits. Asian exhib-
compliant elements of the project so far.
Integrated into Del Norte’s expected 88 classrooms, from science laboratories to lecture spaces, are direct/indirect
lighting systems.
The systems consist of two 8-inchby-24-feet fixtures that will run parallel
along a room’s ceiling, suspended slightly. From their suspension points, the fixtures catch energy from solar light shelves
built into an adjacent wall.
The idea is for the natural sunlight to
bounce down, then up, then down again
for more even distribution to reduce glare
and allow the room to be evenly illuminated, Gessel said.
“Also, there will be more ‘flexible’ lab
classrooms,” Miller said. “These are classrooms that will be provided with the
its can still be viewed via the park’s walking tour.
New Enclosure
In addition to new vehicles, a new
route and an increased emphasis on the
African continent, Journey Into Africa
also contains a new “boma,” an African
word that translates to corral, or small
animal enclosure.
According to Rudolph and Sletten, the
boma was designed to support giraffes
and rhinoceroses. However, park spokeswoman Christina Simmons said the park
has always used bomas when animals require special attention, such as while
they’re pregnant and shortly after they’ve
given birth.
“We haven’t made any changes to the
way we house the animals,” Simmons said.

power — to allow for

used by teachers, who will

campus-wide wireless Internet access;
and wiring necessary to support new digital curriculum that will replace tradition-
In addition to the city of Poway
and 4S Ranch, Poway Unified serves
the following neighboring city of San
Diego suburbs: Rancho Bernardo, Rancho
Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch and
Sabre Springs. The district operates 34 elementary, middle and high schools. Del
Norte will become No. 35.
“We just needed to move some buildings
around, so a new boma structure was constructed within the new tour.”
The boma includes specialized birthing
rooms and is equipped with restraints for
certain medical procedures and basic animal maintenance. There’s also a yard for
animals that have behavioral problems
and need additional training.
“After the animals’ needs are met in
the boma, they are re-released into the
field exhibits,” Simmons said.
Large field exhibits, modeled after native habitats, is the method of wildlife
housing the park has used since the Zoological Society of San Diego opened the
park in 1972. The Wild Animal Park encompasses 1,800 acres and is home to
more than 3,500 animals, including many
endangered species.
The latest addition to the park is the
Great Rift Lift, an elevator tower still under construction that is scheduled to be
completed this October.
According to Rudolph and Sletten, the
elevator will shuttle more than 1,000
park visitors from Mombasa Village to the
lower exhibits of the Journey Into Africa tour daily.
Park officials said the elevator isn’t a
part of the tour itself but is offered as
transportation to “help guests who may be
challenged by the hills between exhibits.”
Tickets for the African Express are included in a “best value” ticket package
available at the park’s main entrance.

al photography programs.
The curriculum will include video production, 3-D animation and digital
photography.
Also, there will be a four-hub administration building designed to
house “four schools within a school,”
Gessel said. Each section will connect
to a central career center, but each
will also have separate entry and exit
points.

Awards:
Awards Of Excellence
• Caltrans District 11 Headquarters —
Winzler & Kelly Consulting: The new office
complex for 1,000 Caltrans employees
successfully combines operational needs
with the aesthetic and cultural needs of
a significant historical district. The environmentally friendly and energy-efficient
design won a Silver Equivalency rating
from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and the complex
was named Southern California’s Best Office Project of 2006 by California Construction Magazine.
• El Monte Valley Recharge Project Feasibility Study — Black & Veatch Corp.:
This study examined the facilities that
would be needed to raise groundwater levels and restore river habitat by recharging the groundwater basin with highly
treated recycled water. A novel strategy
involved placing recharge basins on the
north side of the San Diego River, and extraction wells on the other side.
• Unit G-1 and Denk Reservoir Inflow/
Outflow Pipelines Project — Boyle Engineering Corp.: Three new pipelines and
a prefabricated flow control facility connect the northwestern quarter of the water district to water stored in the Olivenhain Reservoir and treated at the district’s
ultrafiltration membrane water treatment
plant. Construction successfully met the
challenges of blasting near existing water lines, transmission towers and residences.
S T R U C T U R E S
Awards Of Merit
• 450-1 Recycled Water Reservoir &
680-1 Recycled Water Pump Station —
MWH Americas: This 12 million-gallon
storage tank and 17 million-gallon-perday pump station for recycled water will
substantially reduce potable water use by
the district.
• Las Flores Drive Overhead — Simon
Wong Engineering: The only access for
the new Rancho Santalina housing development cleared the North County Transit District rail line with a steep grade
that was at the upper bound for placing
bridge-deck concrete.
• San Luis Rey MWD Master Plan for
Water, Wastewater and Recycled Water
Services — Poway-based Infrastructure
Engineering Corp.: The municipal water
district now has a plan and an associated
capital improvement program that identifies facilities needed to provide water,
wastewater and recycled water service to
previously undeveloped land in north San
Diego County.
• Spring Valley Outfall Sewer Rehabilitation — San Diego-based Nasland Engineering: A 2,000-foot-long section of
deteriorated sewer was replaced with a
larger pipe in a new alignment that improved manhole access while protecting
the adjacent Sweetwater River Preserve
and avoiding community disruption.
Honorable Mention
• 2.5 MG Berk Reservoir — DBE Psomas: This circular concrete water storage tank has a unique system that connects the wall to the floor and roof so the
structure will withstand an earthquake.
31
• Montevalle Community Park — San
Diego-based Flores Lund Consultants:
The new recreation facility is the first
park in Chula Vista to offer universally accessible playground areas for disabled children.
• Normal Heights Elementary School
— San Diego-based Burkett & Wong
Engineers: A “grand hallway” links a
colorful new school for 600 students in
Mid-City to a community common area
for soccer, baseball and basketball.
• P-207 Hangar Recapitalization, Naval
Air Facility, El Centro — Burkett & Wong
Engineers: The design and construction
of four new aircraft hangars and associated facilities is expected to lead the direction of future, related projects on the
base for the next 30 years.
• Paradise Valley Subdivision — Bur-
kett & Wong Engineers: This urban infill development of 38 homes in National City met the challenges of constructing
in hillside conditions, controlling erosion
and preserving open space.
• Walnut Grove Park, Phase I — Flores
Lund Consultants: Built within a major
flood plain, the 46-acre recreation facility features flood control improvements
and incorporates historic structures, including the restored 1888 Cox House.
